I'm Not Intimidated By Other Actors At

You Can Take The Boy Out Of England, But You Can't Take England Out Of The Boy. And Ummm, Yes, I Feel A Huge Emotional Attachment To England.

I Don't Take Much From My Own Father, Because He Was A Very Austere, Quiet, Private Man Who Would Come Home From Work, Go To His Parlour And Play Beethoven On His Piano.

I Don't Much Care To Watch Myself. There Are Still Probably 50 Or 60 Episodes Of 'frasier' That I Have Never Seen.

I Don't Need The Money After 11 Years On 'frasier,' And There Aren't That Many Great Roles Onstage Left For Somebody My Age. I'm More Interested In Playing Those Roles Than I Am In Playing Bit Parts In Movies.

I Didn't Want To Be The Archetypal Sponging Brother-in-law, So I Didn't Go Into Acting When I Got To The States. I Thought, 'no, I'll Go To School And Then I'll Be An English Teacher; That'll Be Fun.' But I Was Horrible As A Teacher. As Hard As I Tried, I Just Couldn't Inspire Those Kids To Take An Interest In Milton And Shakespeare And Donne.
