As a child I was given the freedom to explore my passion for acting but I also grew up in a home where there were a lot of rules. I didn't have 'yes' parents.

Real freedom is creative proactive and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.

True freedom is the capacity for acting according to one's true character to be altogether one's self to be self-determined and not subject to outside coercion.

I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.

First I would probably place men at the bottom of the food chain. On a grander scale I would say they're reacting to change. Feminism has got to be part of that.

I was born in the '60s and grew up in the '70s - not exactly the best decade for food in British history. It was horrendous. It was a time when as a nation we excelled in art and music and acting and photography and fashion - all creative skills... all apart from cooking.

I don't let it bother me too much if someone doesn't like me. I just figure there's no accounting for taste. It's not me it's my acting. It's like if someone doesn't like someone's food they just don't like my acting.

I've been writing a lot I've a few projects I'm trying to finance I do some acting I do some directing... Apart from that if I could get lower that a ten handicap on my golf game I'd be thrilled.

When I'm acting I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera making sure I hit my marks and there is the one driven by this inner fire this delicious fear.

A word does not frighten the man who in acting feels no fear.
