There Are A Group Of People Who

I Certainly Play People On The Edge Quite A Lot. I Am Interested In What Makes People Odd And What Makes Them Different. In Life I Try To Play The Edges. I Have A Horror Of The Herd. There Are Many, Many Different Sorts Of People. A Lot Of People Are Fairly Uninteresting. I Want To Play The Interesting Ones. The Villains Are Always More Interesting To Portray. Shakespeare Knew That.

I Think Nobody Since Has Written Such Extraordinary Work As Shakespeare Writes. The Characters He Writes Are Full Of Inconsistencies, Which Is A Great Human Quality - I Mean We're All Very Inconsistent In The Way We Behave.

To Be An Actor You Need Various Things. You Need To Have A Head For Choosing The Roles. You Have To Be, Hopefully, Easy To Work With So People Enjoy Working With You. You Have To Deal With Missing Roles, With Not Being Asked To Work, With Doing Good Work And Then Being Castigated By The Critics For It. You Have To Have A Skin That Can Deal With All Of That. I, Fortunately, Seem To Have The Makeup Which Allows Me To Deal With The Business. I Mean, Not As Everybody.

I Constantly Experience Failure In That My Work Is Never As Good As I Want It To Be. So I Live With Failure.

So Nevertheless, What I'm Saying Is That What One Is - One's Parameters Are Constantly Narrowed By One's Success, And My Desire Is To Widen My Field Even If I Risk Failure.
