I was on a Swedish soap opera when I was 10.

It's nice to have been around long enough to be a part of people's lives. A lot of people who come to my show are real nostalgic for the '80s.

I've appeared on a weekly syndicated television show since 1980.

I was 40 when I did my first movie.

Seventy years old! How did that happen? I was part of the generation that wasn't going to die.

I once got a letter from a woman who told me she was 90. She said if she were 30 years younger, I would have had to watch out. I guess 60 seems really young when you're 90. She said she would eat me with a spoon.

I was 28 when I played the role of a 65 year old man in my first film.

I played old men back in drama school. It's just now that I'm drawing level with the age of the characters I play, but I'm fine with that, and I've certainly never envied people who became hugely famous when they were young.
