The Audience's Expectations Are Ever-present.

I'm Not Experienced Enough, Or Certain Enough Of My Acting On The Screen To Say To A Director, "you Are Wrong, I Am Right. I Will Only Do It This Way." I Could Never Feel That, I Wish I Could Be Absolutely Certain. But On The Stage, It's Different. I Know Where I Am On The Stage.

Quite Low Down In The List Is "how Much Am I Going To Be Paid?"... My Main Feeling About Money Is That I Don`t Want To Feel As Though I`m Being Taken Advantage Of... The Other Actors They Asked To Play Gandalf Wouldn`t Go To New Zealand On That Money For That Length Of Time. I Thought It Would Be A Bit Of An Adventure... I`m An Eccentric Actor, And There`s A Lot Of Us Around.

Success In The Movies Has Pushed Me To Places I Didn't Know I Was Allowed To Go.

What I Particularly Like About Broadway Is The Camaraderie And The Friendship Of Other People In Other Shows. Everybody Knows You're Opening And Cares About You. There's A Real Village Atmosphere.

To Know You Are In The Company With People Who Love And Care For Each Other, As Well As For Whatever They Are Working On, Is Almost Essential.
