I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy. |
I've never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It's never been part of my psyche. |
I'm one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups. |
I've been cushioned against having to work, with Rocky's continual bounty. |
Life's too short to be working with divas. |
Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are. |
Well, when you do something like Rocky which is indefinable somehow, it always becomes difficult to lose that. |
The fact that someone came forward and offered $1.25 million to make a movie was astonishing. We were also allowed to keep many of the original stage cast. |
So all the rest is O.K., but fame is a hollow ground, isn't it? It's an empty kind of thing. |
With the film around for 25 years and the show being around even longer - still running and continuing to fill house all around the word - it's really an exciting and wonderful thing to be part of that. |
I never wanted to be aligned to a mature group because they go off and become politicians and stuff. |
There's something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what's lurking in them. |
It is difficult to go on the next night after you receive a sandbagging. |
I am 58 and it's difficult for people to gauge my age. |
The first movie I appeared in was Carry On Cowboy, though not as an actor. I was just riding horses. |
I would have loved to have been in The Stand. I would also loved to have been in The Mask. |
However, there's three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other's money. If you get all three together, that's fine. |
To play a role where you get to reveal intellectual change is wonderful. |
Yes, but I think the big thing for everyone is to wear what they want and what suits them. |
Well, no. I was getting into trouble messing around with it for roles. So one night I went home, cut it down with a pair of scissors and then got in the bath and shaved it all off. I've never looked back. |
