We have real cliched ideas of what prison life is like. It is not a happy place. It's a desperate, sad situation.

The first 10 years I was a professional actor, I did Shakespeare.

I wanted to be in The Emerald Forest. I chased that one for six months before it all came about. I wanted to work with John Boorman!
