I directed two films, not very successfully, and after that, I went back to being an actor and a producer.

The first time I had got an offer to come to Hollywood, I turned it down. I said, 'No, I'm an actor of the stage.'

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

I don't need a critic to tell me I'm an actor. I make my own way. Nobody's my boss. Nobody's ever been my boss.
