I'm a stage actor. You know, I was - I cut my teeth on stage, you know. So I've always had a love affair with the stage, first off, what I was raised in, you know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.
I'm known as a kind of dramatic, serious, almost humorless actor and the fact is, I'm a funny guy, and I spend most of my life trying to find a lighter side of things, and on stage was given plenty of opportunity to do that.
I grew up in New York, so I fell in love with acting on a stage, not in front of a camera.
Acting is my first love.
I'm an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I'd get two bites of the cherry - you would do things that people will remember forever like 'The Brothers' which I did in the '70s and now 'Doctor Who' - I'd have been overjoyed and I still am.
I tried to stay off the stage, but you know, I'm an actor; I'm an artist.
Acting was my first love.
Actually, I started to become an actress because I met someone who was just a friend and I found his life wonderful, I thought, Oh my god, you can travel, you're free, you can do what you want, you're the boss. And then I met an actor and I was in love with him.
What made me fall in love with acting, which is my life, was watching other people perform. It made me hunger to do that.
I am the actor that I am. I do what I do. I've been a 'leading man' playing romantic leads for a long time now.
