We're outsiders.

We can celebrate.

And at the back of the mind is, and it'll kill you as well.

And I remember thinking,

This is going to kill me.

The drinking.

Yeah.

Because I was drinking like I was going out of fashion.

And those guys who worked with me, they've all gone.

And they were very talented people.

Wonderful.

But once you get into that schizophrenic stage when your personality becomes rabid and from the moment you're a jolly nice guy in the bar and suddenly you turn, viciously say, you talk to me like... That's what was happening to me.

Um, no, it's always been a pleasure to work with them.

I mean, Brad and everyone you've just mentioned.

Nothing but praise for them.

I was working with a young actor a few years ago, young Canadian actor who looked a bit like James Dean.

I think he thought he was James Dean.

But we were doing a scene together.
