Lightbulbs Die, My Sweet. I Will Depart.

If You Have This Enormous Talent, It's Got You By The Balls, It's A Demon. You Can't Be A Family Man And A Husband And A Caring Person And Be That Animal. Dickens Wasn't That Nice A Guy.

I Think One Of The Things You Have To Be Aware Of As An Actor Is That If You Come On The Set And See The Director Standing There Mouthing All The Words While A Scene Is Going On, That's Usually A Very Bad Sign Because It Means The Director Has Already Shot The Scene In His Head. He Knows Exactly The Rhythm And The Nuances That He Wants Delivered In The Line And You're Not Going To Dissuade Him.

Tom [courtenay] And Albert Finney Met Ron Harwood On The Dresser, So That's How It Started. It's A Wonderful Documentary. It's Called Tosca's Kiss And Mr Hardwood Told Me About It When I Asked Him What The Genesis Was. It Was Made In 1983 And Verdi, Who Was Rich And Successful, Toward The End Of His Life Decided To Build A Mansion For Himself In Milan, Where He Lived, And He Stipulated That When He Died Opera Singers And Musicians - Because He Knew So Many Who Were No Longer Playing At The Scala And Some Were Poor - Could Live There.

In My Room As A Kid... I'd Play A Fighter And Get Knocked To The Floor And Come Back To Win.

I Wanted To Find My Limitations So I Decided To Do Shylock. And If I Fail? I've Never Been Afraid Of That. I Have Other Fears - Doing Bad Work Knowingly Is The Worst Fear.
