In England, I've had a more balanced career directing and acting. It can be quite difficult to juggle the two careers.

For a time, I really thought acting was just impersonating. But impersonation is just big brush strokes, really. What makes acting different is empathy.

My career is going better now than when I was younger. It used to be that I'd get the girl but not the part. Now I get the part but not the girl.

Cammell's, I suppose, was a failed career, ... but it was a good deal more interesting than the careers of many people who were much more successful. He was quite a remarkable man.

I am a private detective. I am paid to be inquisitive and presumptuous.

a great, black father.
