If you're not passionate about what you want to do, you won't be good at it.

'Lawrence of Arabia' is a film that anyone wanting to become an actor should watch at least six hundred times.

My career as an actor started when I was six years old, taking dancing lessons. Then I started getting paid jobs to dance at the age of seven.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
