I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge, because my mom... lives there, man, and she loves being in the kitchen.

When I'm out there on the field, I'm in a whole different world, you know? It's like, I'm just having so much fun.

I'm going to go in and play, because the most important thing is playing on the field and being able to contribute. I really am ready.

Nothing has been given to me.

I admit to have made some bad decision in the initial stage of my career and paid the price. I can't afford to do such a mistake again.

I turned down a film that was offered to me in the very early '80s, a Scorsese film. That probably wasn't a good career move.

In my mind, I always felt like I was worthy. I really felt like, with my career and just the way I did it, it was Hall of Fame-worthy.

The really successful work in England tends to be working-class writers telling working-class stories. The film industry has been slow to wake up to that, for a variety of reasons. It still shocks me how few films are written or made in England about working-class life, given that those are the people who go to movies.
