I'm Not Famous For My Back Story

I Don't Want To Associate Myself With Any Specific Group Of Politicians.

I Used To Joke That One Of The Reasons There Was A Lack Of Classical Work On My Cv Was Because I Couldn't Operate In Those Kinds Of Trousers. Which Is A Joke, But It's Actually Also True - If I Want To Appear In Public I Want To Look My Best. If I'm Onstage I Like To Do Contemporary Work, Largely Because Of The Trousers, Because Of The Clothes. I Like A Decent, What We Used To Call A Lounge Suit. Then I Can Start To Motor.

I Would Like To Change Everything, But Obviously Not Everything. I've Been Incredibly Fortunate. I Guess Everybody Would Do This, But I'd Go Back To My Younger Self And Say, "lighten Up. Take It Easy. Relax. Don't Be So Anxious About Everything. Try To Be In The Day. Try To Not Have Today Stolen From You By Anxiety About Yesterday Or Tomorrow."

I Don't Do Plays Without Jokes Anymore. I've Retired From Those Plays. I Think It's Bad Manners To Invite People To Sit In The Dark For Two And A Half Hours And Not Tell Them The Joke.

I Don't Seem To Be Able To Learn From Experience Or Anything Useful. History Doesn't Help Me. Precedents Don't Inform My Experience.
