I'll Be Your Friend So Long As

But It's Interesting Being Directed By Someone Who Is A Very Good Actor. There's Nothing Like It. It Might Sound Like A Territorial Thing About What I Do, But I Don't Think You Can Understand What It Is Until You've Done It. I Know That To Be A Fact.

My Looks Aren't Something That Come Dazzlingly Through In Everything I Do. I Can Be Made To Look One Way Or The Other Fairly Easily... I Am Still Not Recognised On The Street That Much.

In Filming You're Waiting. You're Waiting For Lights. You're Waiting For People Set Things Up. And When You're Not Waiting, You're Repeating. And Neither Is Conducive To Spontaneity, You Know. Comedy Makes You Very, Very Neurotic Because You Think, I - But Did I Nail It?

I Think The Dictator Director Is Based Upon Stories From The Past. I Don't Think Anyone Would Put Up With It Now. There Are A Lot Of People On A Film Set With Egos. So, To Be Completely Authoritarian, You'd Probably Have To Have A Reputation Like Kurosowa Or Somebody To Get Away With It.

My Primary Instinct As An Actor Is Not The Big Transformation. It's Thrilling If A Performer Can Do That Well, But That's Not Me. Often With Actors, It's A Case Of Witnessing A Big Party Piece But Wondering Afterwards, Where's The Substance?
