    He dropped out of school to write 'the great English novel' but only wrote the title.
    When he dropped out if school, he ran away to France to write the novel. When he ran out of money, the British Consul had to ship him home. He said 'The British consul shipped me home for 25 quid and I had to pay my father back, he was a wee bit cross.'
    He refers to his long-time partner, Diana Quick, as his wife, even though they are not married. He said 'I call her my wife because anything else would be too difficult.'

    He become a successful actor despite his lack of qualifications.
    He won 2 British acting BAFTA awards in the same year.
    He is a strong supporter of the British film industry.
    He is known to be very modest saying: 'I've always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I'm an actor, but felt sorry for me because they'd never seen anything I've done.'
    He said: 'You come to realize there is this huge disparity between what you think about yourself and your work and what other people think about you and your work, at first you either think they're insane or that it's a conspiracy to make you look stupid.'
