...actor? Would you still believe in the craft? I probably would still be an actor, because this is what I make a living doing, and I have been making a living with it for so long. To chuck it all in and start something else - it's a bit too late. Would I still believe in the craft? Absolutely, but on my terms, and that's where the difficulty would set in.

"When you go through what I've gone through, you come to appreciate who matters and what and why," he says, referring to his family. "But you also lose a bit of the edge that leads you to tilt at windmills. Maybe you might call that ambition. Silda used to say, 'Being right isn't the only thing.' I would get so caught up in the ambition of proving to the world we're right. You can destroy yourself that...
