I've obviously made a very nice amount of money. I have a very nice lifestyle. I get to do what I love. Very few actors get to do that, and even fewer are lucky enough to work steadily for 24 years.

It is a tough business but if you get yourself in a situation like I, you can maintain a career over many years. That, to me, is a successful actor.

I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.

I love the company of actors, but the crazier it gets, the more I've come to realise how valuable my time is with my friends who work on the land or are builders or, you know, make music. Work in offices. Run shops.

I've always basically done everything that's been offered to me. I'm one of the few actors who enjoy working a lot.

Being an actor is a good way to earn a living. And to meet fabulous people. It's great to live very comfortably. I've been lucky, I've had a lot of fun with great roles, but it is true that if I were extremely rich, I would stop and I would go to play football on a beach in the Caribbean with my children.

I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.

I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.

I still do commercial work as an actor, which I love, because it's very quick, and it definitely pays my bills.

I'd been in Hollywood for five years before I started writing 'The Guild.' I worked enough to pay all my bills. So I was very lucky in that respect. Most people don't make a living acting.
