On almost being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War: Luckily, I had a series of personality problems and something wrong with one ear - I think bedwetting came into it somewhere; I honestly can't remember - so, all in all, it just wasn't possible for me to make that contribution.
On his role in The Curse of King Tut's Tomb (2006) (TV): And then I went to India to shoot an absolutely ghastly pile of tosh, but we were in Jaipur for seven weeks; I'd never been to India and I found it the most astonishingly beautiful, wonderful and nourishing country I'd ever been to in my life. Thank you very much: where next?
