When I was writing it, all I was doing was entertaining myself and writing a show that I, personally, would have liked to have gone and seen.

With the film around for 25 years and the show being around even longer - still running and continuing to fill house all around the word - it's really an exciting and wonderful thing to be part of that.

I have done every job in the Theatre apart from wardrobe. I was out of work more times than I was in it.

Yes, but I think the big thing for everyone is to wear what they want and what suits them.

Hell is no longer polarized. Heaven is no longer the afterlife facility it once was. Everything has moved towards the center.

Well, no. I was getting into trouble messing around with it for roles. So one night I went home, cut it down with a pair of scissors and then got in the bath and shaved it all off. I've never looked back.

I am 58 and it's difficult for people to gauge my age.

Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are.

As I say, I love fantasy and make-believe and I love films that make people feel a little better when they leave.
