[in 1974] Where I am at the moment I know that I could be – if I wished to be – a top-ranking star because I have the power and the technique, I think, to take on anyone and the only thing that has stopped me from being a top-ranking star is my desire to be – which I’ve never wanted. It’s only recently have I achieved the weight to if I want to be. I mean I could go to Stratford and play Prospero, I could have taken a television series and built myself up and done all sorts of things but I don’t. I like an anonymity and I like sort of in a sense being an amateur.
