We were the victims of the new producer but what annoyed me was they told the press we were leaving before us.

It's a comedy thriller, brilliantly written and it's full of twists and turns at every page. When I was reading it I was desperate to get to the end to find out what happens, it really hooks you.

They handled it very badly. It was disappointing and very humiliating. John York was very rude. He never consulted with me over what he said to the press.

I'm quite grateful to the BBC. They helped me back onto the touring circuit.

Tom is the most eccentric person I have ever worked with. We get on very well and I am most impressed with how he can hold an audience in the palm of his hand.

I never watch TV. I'm a Radio Four addict. I love listening to music too.

I think it's one of my favourite theatres ever, so quirky and wonderful and steeped in history. The space is wonderful and the acoustics are brilliant.

I cannot understate the ability to handle classical texts such as Shakespeare.

They can certainly expect to be very impressed with the technical aspects of the show, fooled and led up the garden path by the story and ultimately have a jolly good laugh!

I found that a bit unfair. However, I did feel quite liberated when I left. I'm very grateful to the show - it revived a flagging career, but I'm glad to be away from it now.

It was all to do with the change of producer as well as political reasons I don't really comprehend.

Every great soul had great mentors.

I assure you, my good Lestrade, that I have an excellent reason for everything that I do.

The fun thing about insanity is that it is often so very hard to tell it apart from brilliance.

Lost yesterday somewhere between sunrise and sunset two golden hours each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.

We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.

Focus on who you are becoming not what you are doing

I like the best of the British press. The best of the British press is very good.

Even if I played for a million years, I’d never come close to Maradona. Not that I’d want to anyway. He’s the greatest there’s ever been.

Let the path be open to talent.

We make our way through Everything like thread passing through fabric, giving shape to images that we ourselves do not know.
