Not being anxious requires a level of humility, doesn't it? It does, I think. It's not all about you.

I never went to acting school. I started in the circus, music hall, I was in a group, did kids bits. Ive always had this kind of insecurity being uneducated.

I'm entirely uneducated. I went to public school - public in the American sense - a blue-collar, working-class school. I never got a scholarship, I left when I was 15, never did any exams.

I'm crap at interviews. I'm just not very good at sentences.

I just think the older I get, actually, the better I feel.

I don't plan. I don't think, 'I have to do this kind of part 'cause I've done that kind of part.' I'm not a very good planner.

I drifted into acting, and I've drifted into my career, and I've never been guided by anything particularly concrete.

I was a dozy boy; I'd like to have been like James Dean, but I was more Arthur Askey - pathetically rebellious in a cheeky, chappy sort of way.

I was concerned about doing the right thing when I was a kid. I suppose as a child, youre a massive egomaniac, and you think that everything you do is going to affect the world.

Celebritys a pain in the backside - youre always on display.

I am living a simple life with a complicated mind and I have yet to find a state of mind where I feel safe with who I am, where I am, with what I do.

A heaven on earth.

The form is always the measure of the obsession.

When you think of how a child experiences a series of events, it feels, for so long, like she's looking at everything from behind this glass and it's obscured.

Any time you can create something that gets to a large audience is fantastic. And television still gets you to a huge audience.

Love someone too much to help them prevent making a mistake.

But I'm not to be caught with such poor bait! I'm a big fish, I am.

I was studying the sky like I was an astronomer, except it was daytime and I didn't have a telescope, so I was just an idiot.

In fact, ballet companies did not exist in the Midwest when I was a child.

We've got to continue to find ways to honor our 25 million veterans that have served our country with such honor and distinction.
