No, no, no.

Tony.

Nice to meet you.

Good to meet you.

You know, I thought it might be interesting to start with a key epiphany that you write about in the book.

You know, we all have our turning points in our lives.

Would you have such a specific one and know exactly when it happened, a moment that sort of changed everything for you?

Can you tell me about what happened on December 29th, 1975 at 11 o'clock?

And it was just a voice from the blue.

You grew up the son of a baker, working class in Wales.

And I can't imagine that you knew that many artists or actors.

Was the idea of becoming an actor something that you or your family had ambivalence about?

Yeah, it was your first film.

The idea that essentially life is a game.

There are no big deals.

We don't need to take anything so seriously.

You just got to do the best you can.

That's sort of a, in a way, a recurring theme in your book.

And I wonder if we believe that, you know, we shouldn't take anything too seriously.

What should we take seriously?
