I’ve never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It’s never been part of my psyche.

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.

I’m one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups.

I do like to be creative and I’m very lucky that I’ve been given different areas in which I’m able to do that – whether it be film or television or theatre or whatever. I’m also still into music and recording.

I’ve never wanted to play bank managers and real people particularly.

Even though we know freedom as an idea we’re not really as free as we think we are.

I’m not driven by money and I’m not driven by career.

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.

I am 58 and it’s difficult for people to gauge my age.

There’s something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what’s lurking in them.
