To Be An Actor You Need Various Things. You Need To Have A Head For Choosing The Roles. You Have To Be, Hopefully, Easy To Work With So People Enjoy Working With You. You Have To Deal With Missing Roles, With Not Being Asked To Work, With Doing Good Work And Then Being Castigated By The Critics For It. You Have To Have A Skin That Can Deal With All Of That. I, Fortunately, Seem To Have The Makeup Which Allows Me To Deal With The Business. I Mean, Not As Everybody.

I Was Not Naturally Intellectual, But Somebody Whose Interest Had To Be Whetted, Still The Case Sadly.

I Love Being Part Of A Group Who Tells Stories, Whether It Be In The Theater Or In Cinema, And I Love Creating Imaginary Worlds Rather As Children Do, But I Never Had A Burning Desire To Act, But It Just Sort Of Suited Me.

An Acting Assistant Stage Manager In A Theater In Canterbury, A Rep Theater. A Small Wage But Just Enough To Get By On, And I Made Props, And I Walked On, And I Changed Scenery, And I Realized That I Just Loved It.

There Are A Group Of People Who Are Managing The World To Their Advantage And Who Just Look To The Rest Of Us As People Who Will Buy Their Products And Fund Their Salaries.
