"Before I ever acted as an amateur - which I did a great deal at school and at university - I used to..." — Ian Mckellen

I love the Broadway audiences, who relish live drama and don't hesitate to display their enthusiasm.

Actors don't, in fact, retire, do they? It took me a while to remember that.

It's my impression that I've done every job that I've been asked to do.

I'm brilliant at cooking my stepmother's scrambled egg recipe. The secret is to put eggs, butter, milk, and seasoning together in the saucepan, and to keep stirring with a wooden spoon under a low heat until the preferred consistency is reached.
