I was making a film called The White Tower at the foot of Mont Blanc - the one thing I learned from that experience was that it`s more difficult to go down a mountain than to go up. A lot of people don`t realize that.

I don`t know how it is now but the assistant stage manager had to understudy several parts. You had to be ready to go on at any time if the actor couldn`t make it to the play. I didn`t think anything of it.
