fun years class
I loved doing My Favorite Year, which was great fun, and The Ruling Class, which I made with all my chums.
beautiful tables scripts
I put steam on the table by being an actor. That is how I live. The longer I live, the more expensive it becomes. So I do my work. And I can't be immensely picky. How many beautiful scripts come in one's lifetime? I have had more than anybody, practically.
class criminals crime
I'm not working-class: I come from the criminal classes.
dream hope vision
And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
death dying remedy
There's a remedy for everything except death.
giving-up drinking bottles
If you can't do something willingly and joyfully, then don't do it. If you give up drinking, don't go moaning about it; go back on the bottle. Do. As. Thou. Wilt.
mean use actors
I'm a very physical actor. I use everything - toes, teeth, ears, everything. I don't simply mean physical in the sense of movement and vigour. I find myself remembering the shape of a scene by how I'm standing, what I'm doing.
teacher son years
I became a professional cricket teacher about 20 years ago. I had a son born to me when I was 50, and I thought, he needs someone to bowl to him.

Always a bridesmaid never a bride my foot!

I wish to hazard my soul to opportunity.
people young bigs
I love working with young people, which is to me a big kick.
art mean writing
Writing is a kind of performing art, and I can't sit down to write unless I'm dressed. I don't mean dressed in a suit, but dressed well and comfortably and I have to be shaved and bathed.
church thieves pope
Pope Paul III was the greatest thief in the history of the church.
bullets surrender ifs
If you do not surrender, I shall be forced to shoot you through the head with a rather large bullet.
