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.

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.
