When I staged the play and narrated my story to the audience, people found it amazing that after facing so many hardships, I have gone on to do 482 films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I haven't done as many films as I would have liked. A lot of my contemporaries have done more. I don't have 'I will be a movie star' emblazoned on anything, but I'd like do a bit more screen stuff and then when the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.
I have done a lot of theater.
I've walked out of films. But for every film I've ever walked out of, I've probably walked out of 500 plays.
I've done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I've done have either been stunt or costume work.
I've sat in the theater for thousands and thousands of shows.
Well, I've been acting for 50 years now, professionally. I've been acting a lot longer. My mother reckons I was acting when I got out of the womb. But because I've been working in the theater, I've probably only done about 25 movies but I've done more than 100 plays.
Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted.
I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
I think I've done 200 plays and 125 movies, so I've been very lucky to have made a living at acting.
