We Need To Band Together As A

Many Actors Want To Play Hamlet And Macbeth. Ever Since I Became An Actor, From The Very Beginning I Just Wanted To Play A Shetland Pony. I Cannot Explain Why

One Of The Things You Can Do As An Actor, Is Compensate For The Things You Can't Do In Life.

Money Is Another Pressure. I'm Not Complaining, I'm Just Saying That There's A Certain Luxury In Having No Money. I Spent Ten Years In New York Not Having It, Not Worrying About It. Suddenly You Have It, Then You Worry, Where Is It Going? Am I Doing The Right Thing With It?

You Go To The Cinema And You Realize You're Watching The Third Act. There Is No First Or Second Act. There Is This Massive Film-making Where You Spend This Incredible Amount Of Money And Play Right To The Demographic. You Can Tell How Much Money The Film Is Going To Make By How It Does On The First Weekend. The Whole Culture Is In The Crap House. It's Not Just True In The Movies, It's Also True In The Theater.

Tom [courtenay] And Albert Finney Met Ron Harwood On The Dresser, So That's How It Started. It's A Wonderful Documentary. It's Called Tosca's Kiss And Mr Hardwood Told Me About It When I Asked Him What The Genesis Was. It Was Made In 1983 And Verdi, Who Was Rich And Successful, Toward The End Of His Life Decided To Build A Mansion For Himself In Milan, Where He Lived, And He Stipulated That When He Died Opera Singers And Musicians - Because He Knew So Many Who Were No Longer Playing At The Scala And Some Were Poor - Could Live There.
