I think monogamy is a little unnatural, if I'm totally honest. You change. Things alter. It's the exception rather than the rule and I think it's exceptional to cope with it and manage it. It's hard work.
From Robert Powell
Part of my job is to try and seduce people. It's what I get paid for, and if people get in the way of me doing my job I can be very difficult.
I have always been attracted to difficult work. There really doesn't seem much point in looking for the easy life as an actor. I would simply get bored.
When I die, I want to be the only person in the world not to have seen 'The Sound Of Music.'
The heartthrob thing came in the late 1960s, and to be honest, it was fun! But I was very aware that well-known actors are two people - who you are and who other people think you are. Life only gets tricky if you confuse the two.
I was 24 when I was offered 'Doomwatch.' There was an option for a further series, and I turned it down. It is a wonderfully glorious thing to be unknowingly arrogant.
When you get back from a trip, make a note of what you didn't wear. This will avoid packing it unnecessarily next time.
I have a number of places on my wish list, including Antarctica, the Norwegian fjords, and the Amazon. I have a passion for wilderness, and Siberia is on my list - however, that may be a bridge too far.
With the advent of Twitter and Facebook and other social networking sites, genuine privacy can only be found by renting a private villa for a holiday.
I was born five days before D-Day in 1944. My father was a mechanical engineer, which was a reserved occupation, so he didn't have to enlist. My mother was a housewife. She worked in a bank before marrying my father.
