I never wanted to be aligned to a mature group because they go off and become politicians and stuff.
I've never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It's never been part of my psyche.
I've been cushioned against having to work, with Rocky's continual bounty.
I'm surrounded by it. I have so many lovely people around me who are supportive, gentle, kind and considerate. I'm so grateful for every day that I'm on the planet and that continues to be so.
I'm one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups.
I'm not driven by money and I'm not driven by career.
I paid my dues at drama school and worked backstage in every Theatre in London.
I have done every job in the Theatre apart from wardrobe. I was out of work more times than I was in it.
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 am 58 and it's difficult for people to gauge my age.
I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy.
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.
Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are.
It is difficult to go on the next night after you receive a sandbagging.
So all the rest is O.K., but fame is a hollow ground, isn't it? It's an empty kind of thing.
