Is it a constant annoyance that people seem to think it’s OK to ask you to explain how you have chosen to expose (or not expose) your body? AmongstTheWaves
Oh, have I exposed my body? Gosh, I’ve done my damnedest to use black camera tape to hide my nipples and cut my pants so you can’t see anything. The only film in which I expose the front of my body is The Wicker Man. I did a film with John Hurt called Scandal in which there was an orgy and we all had to be semi-naked. I was sitting on a couch in this big old building at the Polish Cultural Institute in [London’s] Exhibition Road, filled with half-naked people. Next to me is John Hurt. The director says: “Sit down” and he’s stark naked. He thought it would be helpful if he was naked, to make everyone feel free. But it doesn’t work that way. Probably like men trying not to look at a woman’s naked breast, I couldn’t help looking. Not that I wanted to see it, but the human mind draws you in. So, I don’t think that is a good question!
You once said that you have never been “anything other than mega famous”. In the world of showbiz, are ego and ambition more important than talent? liblabflab
First of all, I have never in my life used the words “mega famous”. I would never speak about myself that way. Of course, there is a certain amount of ego and self-importance, but you don’t have to throw it around. I think I have always been respectful to my fans and to my fame.
