Malcolm McDowell

I'm not quite as buoyant as I was in my youth.

I just take it as it comes, and if I'm not offered something, there's always a reason, and usually it's a pretty good one. I'm not worried about it. You know, I've had an incredible career, and I'm blessed.

If you look a little punkish, then they're going to give you the parts. And if you play an iconic villain early on in your career, you tend to get asked to play one over and over and over again.

I'm from a country where acting is taken very seriously; it's a very serious profession.

I just love a challenge, and always have, and will do anything to make it interesting. I'll try anything, really, as long as it's a challenge and you can have some fun doing it.

You can't hold back. You can't think of the subtleties of playing. You just have to get out and really bare it all, and hopefully you don't fall off the plank. And if you do, hey, pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and start all over again.

Different directors offer you different things, and it's not necessarily the most obvious things.

I love Bob Altman. I always admired him so much because I always thought he was a genuine voice.

I've tried it all. I'd love to do radio plays. I think that one should be open to everything and shouldn't limit oneself.

I love doing every role I do!
