I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.

Most people grow up dreaming of going to Hollywood and some of them work and work and work and finally end up in Hollywood.

I actually turned down an opportunity for a private interview with Adolph Hitler.

I collect all the reviews of the films I turned down. And when they're bad - I have to smile.

So the English approach to show business and their work is more - and this is a big generalization, I hasten to say - but it's more, they work on it as a craft job.

I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.
