I hope I'm an individual. I suppose an eccentric is a super individual.

You never have a comedian who hasn't got a very deep strain of sadness within him or her. Every great clown has been very near to tragedy.
Perhaps an eccentric is just off centre - ex-centric. But that contradicts a belief of mine that we've got to be centrifugal.
Film actors are, by nature, more complicated than stage actors.
