When I work with young people, I grab energy from them by the handsful.
From Peter O'Toole
I've never looked for women. When I was a teenager, perhaps.
A few years back I was asked if I would go and meet a director and his various acolytes, and it occurred to me halfway through the meeting that what I was doing was auditioning. And I thought, 'Well, hang on buddy. I've done half a century of this.'
Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.
It's very inconvenient because every time I finish, let's say, a chapter of a book, I think I'm going to ring Richard and then realize: Oh, Christ, I've buried him. I buried him last year.
Life turned out much better than I thought. I knew after a little while that I could act.
I have no memories I'm prepared to share with you.
I love working with young people which to me is a big kick.
I loved doing My Favorite Year, which was great fun, and The Ruling Class, which I made with all my chums.
I tell my children to avoid theatre and go into cinema and TV.
