You Take What You Know, And You

I Was Brought Up By My Mother And My Two Sisters, Although They're Older Than Me And Fled The Nest Very Young, So I Was Technically Raised As An Only Child, But I Was Very Much Loved.

Being An Actor Is A Good Way To Earn A Living. And To Meet Fabulous People. It's Great To Live Very Comfortably. I've Been Lucky, I've Had A Lot Of Fun With Great Roles, But It Is True That If I Were Extremely Rich, I Would Stop And I Would Go To Play Football On A Beach In The Caribbean With My Children.

Being A Good Director Is Knowing Sometimes When Not To Say Something.

I Was Never Really That Interested In The Punk Movement. I Was A Blues Guy: I Liked Motown, James Brown.

I Grew Up In Deptford In South London, And At That Time I Used To Wear Toppers, Loon Pants And Tonic Suits From Shops Like Take 6 And Topman. I Was A Bit Of A Soul Boy, But I Had A Very Eclectic Taste In Music - I Was Into James Brown And Bowie; And I Was The Only Kid In The Neighbourhood Who Would Also Be Listening To Chopin.
