leave marriage
To walk out on a marriage and leave a child was painful.
I was not easy to cast, but also, I have never been typecast.
juvenile romantic until
I was never a juvenile lead or a romantic hero, and I didn't come into my own as an actor until I was 40.
children perceived
I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.
damaged esteem experience low notoriety people root sudden
People who are seriously damaged by sudden fame and notoriety have, in my experience, very low esteem at the root of their being.
people
Of course, I've known people who have mental difficulties, so I know how fragile people's psyches are and how little it can take to overbalance somebody.
My parents would have loved me to go to university - Oxbridge, particularly.
careers age want
I don't really want to start my career again, and I don't like Hollywood. If it had happened to me when I was young, yes, I'd be there like a shot, but I wouldn't like to go there and hang out and go to auditions at my age.
player talking vampire
The most starstruck I've been is when I met Sol Campbell when he was a Tottenham Hotspur player. I don't get starstruck by actors I work with, because you have some sort of relationship with them. Like, I worked with Tom Cruise [on Interview With The Vampire], so if I saw him again I'd speak to him as an actor. Although he might not be interested in talking to me...
thinking mind too-much
I don't get much sauciness, I'm too old for saucy now, but back in the day I think there were a few marriage proposals. And I do use the fact women approach me as a chance to chat them up. They never seem to mind too much.
people
People get starstruck when they meet me, it's quite funny.
thinking giving hips
I don't think of myself as old. Obviously I am - I have a free bus pass, I'm already a grandad, and my hip is giving me jip, so it's all telling me something I don't really want to hear.
people fans london
Outside of London especially, I can't go anywhere without people buying me a drink. There are quite a lot of people who know me from The Vicar Of Dibley and are big Dibley fans, but they don't have things to shout at me from that show.
