Walking is my main method of relaxation. I don't go over my lines or try to solve the world's problems, I just enjoy the scenery and the wildlife.

With all the lines I have to learn for TV scripts, I don't think I have any problems with forgetfulness - that's brain exercise enough for me.

In business, you try to solve problems.

You just suddenly think that there's something quite childish about acting. Basically, it's pretending, isn't it? It's good fun and I enjoy it, but it's a funny way of making a living, particularly when you make a very good wage, as I've been fortunate enough to do.

It must be able to assist in devising the method of solution of problems and not merely solve them.

Sometimes at night in my bed I solve the worlds greatest problems all in my mind... By morning my memory has faded and every great idea has vanished!
