My Kids Started School, So Having A

I Suddenly Became Aware Over The Last Couple Of Years That I'm In My Sixties. I Never Thought About It. I Thought I'd Better Start Acting My Age Or Find Roles That Are Going To Be Interesting To Me In The Sexagenarian Repertoire, Because It's Not What You Do In Your Forties Or Fifties.

If In The Sex Scene You Happen To Be Naked In Front Of A Lot Of Other People You've Just Got To Put That Aside, In The Same Way That You Have To Put That Aside In A Fully-clothed Intense Dialogue Scene Because You're Entering Into That Particular Imaginative State Of Play.

My Kids Started School, So Having A Strong Base In Melbourne Has Been A Key Priority. I'm Not Daunted By The Travel. People Say, 'it's So Far To Australia,' And I Say, 'you Get On The Plane, You Eat Well, You Sleep, You Wake Up - And You're There.'

I Went To England In The '70s, And I Was In My Early 20s. There Was Still A Residue Of That Era Of Being An Underclass Or Colonial. I Assume It Must Have Been A More Aggressive And Prominent Attitude 40 Years Before That, Because Australia Internationally Wasn't Regarded As Having Much Cultural Value. We Were A Country Full Of Sheep And Convicts.

They Were Saying, 'keep This Under Your Hat, But Jack Sparrow's Going To Die In The Second Movie.' I Went, 'you're Kidding Me. The Fans Are Going To Go Berserk.'
