aim best coming expect fans fight inevitably john morse special trying tune tv view
I don't think of it as coming back - I'm trying to fight the idea that this is Morse revisited. It's the same character, but without John inevitably it's going to be a very different animal. A lot of the old Morse fans will tune in and I want to play down the expectations that it will be Morse, because it can't be. John was a particularly special actor - in my view he was the best TV actor we've ever had - so you want to aim high. But you can't expect it to be Morse. It's Lewis.
allergic wants wife
Wife wants to see Cats, don't know why, she?s allergic to them.
I suppose it's a sentimental thing, but I wouldn't want to do more 'Lewis' than we did 'Morse' because I do still think of it as an offshoot.
everybody
I read the papers like everybody else, so I don't complain about what they print.
rather reality time walking watch
I only really like to watch things like 'Time Team.' I'd rather be out walking the dog. It's all reality TV, which, as an actor, I detest.
bad believe
I know actors who court personal publicity because they believe no publicity is bad publicity.
honestly
I honestly don't think I sought fame. It wasn't something I courted or wanted, particularly.
cameras people playing time
I hate anything with 'celebrity' in the title, where people are playing to the cameras all the time.
easily home men robin
I feel very at home in woodlands and could easily live there. I should have been one of Robin Hood's men.
gives life people
I don't see why it gives people the right to know about my private life if I don't want to talk about it.
characters obviously villains
I don't like two-dimensional characters who are obviously villains from the moment they walk on stage.
