affected depressed knew life lucky
I am lucky in that I have never been depressed in my life, but this is the one thing which has really affected me: the loss of my mother as I knew her.
response
You're very aware in the theater by the response you get, but not so much on television, obviously.
people
You get pigeonholed. Some people are film stars, and some are theatre stars who do one-off telly. Somehow, I get into long-running series.
great hard trying work
You can see some very great theatre actors who don't work at all well on screen. They're trying too hard at it.
driving worth
While I'm driving north, I'm already thinking about kippers - it's worth the journey just to have kippers for breakfast on Saturday.
time
When I have time, I really enjoy cooking.
family five north time
When I get some time off, I like to go back to my roots in the North East. My family have been around Northumberland for five generations.

When I came down south, I went to one of the early Wigan Challenge Cup victories at Wembley, and I was totally hooked from then.

The real reason I love Bamburgh is that it's the only place in the world where I ever truly relax.

Oxford has a slightly mythical rep, particularly for people who haven't been there.

McQueen is an astonishing film maker. He uses really unusual shots and builds incredible dramatic tension.
Let's just say I've never relied on my looks to make a living.
It always staggers me when series don't use their sidekicks.

I'm the captain of the Variety Club over in England, and so I'm playing golf for them once a week but doing odd bits.
