My Life Is Not My

When I Was A Younger Actor, I Was Very Immersed In It, Very "method" And All That. Now, I Don't Give A Hoot.

I Don't Like Mushiness. I'm A Very Emotional Person But I Hate Sentimentality. I Don't Like Great Demonstrations Of Emotion. But As I'm Getting Older, I'm Getting Much More Open About All That.

I Don't Know What Acting Is, But I Enjoy It. I Think We Ask Too Many Questions Of Ourselves. We Make Too Much Importance Of Stuff. But I Do Say To Actors When I Have Taught In Classes, Or When I Sometimes Do A Talk To A Group. I'll Say, “if I Never Acted Again, The World Wouldn't Stop, Nor Would It Stop If I Didn't Stop Acting. That's How Important It Is. I Know It [seems] Important When You're Young. But I Say, “lighten Up. Don't Take It All So Seriously.” All The Gurus And Teachers Will Take Your Money And Run.

When You're Younger You Have So Many Ideas About Yourself; Everything Is Important. It's Not When You Look Back, Nothing Is That Important. It's Only Life.

I've Been Composing Music All My Life And If I'd Been Clever Enough At School I Would Like To Have Gone To Music College.
