I received $100 per week when I started working at the Globe after graduation.

Americans in particular are myopic. They're not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That's what I did. I went to Indonesia.

I fell in love with theater there, and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

It was only when I finished the course and left my graduation diploma on the bus that I realised I'd become an actor.

One of the most difficult speeches to prepare is an address to a graduation class, which is why I don't often do them.
