My Wife Always Says That I Will

Canada Is Like A Nice Family Living Over A Biker Bar . . . They Keep Telling The Downstairs Neighbors To Keep Down The Noise, People Are Trying To Sleep.

I Think One Of The Things You Have To Be Aware Of As An Actor Is That If You Come On The Set And See The Director Standing There Mouthing All The Words While A Scene Is Going On, That's Usually A Very Bad Sign Because It Means The Director Has Already Shot The Scene In His Head. He Knows Exactly The Rhythm And The Nuances That He Wants Delivered In The Line And You're Not Going To Dissuade Him.

A "take" Is An Opportunity To Fail ... And We Think That We Have To Get It Right All The Time.

Usually, Those People Don't Even Like Actors And They Can't Wait Until They Get In The Cutting Room. They Kind Of Break Down In Categories: Directors Who Like To Be Surprised And Some Of Them Abhor Being Surprised. As Far As Directing, We All Direct When We're Acting In Movies... Every Single One Of Us.

In Terms Of The Stars, The Only Ones I Cast Were Billy Connolly And Pauline Collins. I Was In Los Angeles Working And A Lot Of This Took Place On The Telephone. I'd Met Maggie [smith] Once And I'd Come Back-stage, Which I'm Usually Loathe To Do Because As An Actor You Don't Want People Coming Back Because You Want To Get Home [laughs].
