Certainly, I seem to need to do a play a year. I feel wrong if I haven't got one planned.

I see film roles as lovely presents that come along now and again. I feel really lucky and say thank you very much. And if they fly me to L.A., I think, 'God, I must really be doing well.' I've worked with De Niro and Brando and Pacino, and that's made me feel very lucky. But the films have never meant a lot to me.

All actors say they're concerned about the state of the theatre, but what they're really concerned about is that there'll be less work around.
