I'm never bored, never ever bored. If I've got a day off I'll sit in a cafe and watch and observe. I'm a great observer.

I was a typical teen growing up in the 1960s, when everybody was into gurus and meditation.

I've always been short and stocky. So when I got into repertory theatre after graduation, I found myself doing character roles: because of my deep voice, shape and height, I was playing 40-year-old, 50-year-old roles at the age of 23.

Although I'm a very emotional man, I just can't have blind faith; I have to find out for myself.
