When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins. Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath. First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent. For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart. My career is going better now than when I was younger. It used to be that I'd get the girl but not the part. Now I get the part but not the girl. The best research for playing a drunk is being a British actor for 20 years. I'm a sort of boy next door. If that boy has a good scriptwriter. The absent are never without fault. Nor the present without excuse. I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point. |
