Quotes

"I have the curious distinction of having been in the only Ayckbourn play which never got beyond Scarborough and was never seen again; it was called The Sparrow and was a distinctly curious piece, not at all about family jokes or anything like that.
(1981)

"A great, great writer. As a person he is very funny, very shy… and a very private man. It takes a while for him to relax with you but once he trusts you. He's a great friend."
(2009)
