David Suchet

I'm 64 years old, and I've been acting now for 42 years. Only recently have I thought to myself, 'Hmmm, it may be interesting to start directing.'

I'm really not interested in showing me or playing me. My gift as an actor, given to me, is to be able to become other people.

I love music, especially classical like Verdi; it's a great way to relax.

I don't like to get in front of people.

Eventually stardom is going to go away from me. It goes away from everybody and all you have in the end is to be able to look back and like the choices you made.
