I was kicked out of drama school in 1976, aged 18, for vandalising the headmistress's tyres, after being there for less than a year. Ray Winstone agedramaheadmistress Change image and share on social
I pile on the weight when I work. All that location catering's not good for the love handles. I lose a bit when I'm not working, but I love my food and the occasional snifter. Ray Winstone bitecaterfood Change image and share on social

Well, you create your own persona, don't you? And you have to live with that. But the people that I meet, they don't think that I'm a lunatic. And if they do, then that's OK, because it means that I'm playing the parts all right. Ray Winstone createlivelunatic share on social
For me, 'The Crystal Skull' was something I'd never done before, and I loved every minute of it. Working with Harrison Ford as well - he's a cowboy from Montana, the most unassuming man you'll ever work with, fabulous guy, and I loved it. Ray Winstone cowboycrystalfabulous share on social
If they didn't call you a tough guy, then what else would they call you? Something worse than that? I'm playing parts, and if they call you that, it's because I played the part right. Ray Winstone badlycallguy Change image and share on social
