    What a wonderful human being Richard is…….he reminds me of the following quote:
    "The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones that have experienced so much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist - they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world."
    ~ Bianca Sparacino

    When Richard was the babydaddy in the movie after his wife died and was fantastic and of course his Withnail is a legendary performance. I admire his honesty, when his daughter was a film set runner and was badly treated by other actors until they found out that he is her dad. He met one of them and gave them a piece of his mind.❤

    Some rare people really know how to navigate life and the pains of this world with grace and wisdom, and he's one of them.
    His honesty is also so refreshing! At first I was a bit shocked but then it seemed natural to talk about things, made me reflect how we've become unused to it. But I agree, secrets can be burdening and corrosive, they can eat us up inside.
    Lots to think about. I really value the wisdom imparted by older people who got the hang of life or at least have it a bit more "figured out", especially if they're genuinely charming and warm.
    I will definitely take away things he said, particularly about life and death. Food for thought!

    My father was the opposite. He was hateful, telling us we were ugly, etc., blaming us for not being boys. But when he was drunk on the weekends, he was lovely, easygoing, and never punished us. I followed him around like a puppy, wanting a pat on the head. If I showed an interest in what he was doing, and helped him with his electrical, carpentry, and mechanical hobbies, he was mostly nice. If you asked him a question, you’d get an hour long answer, explaining all aspects of the answer. Everyone thought that boring, except me. I learned a lot from him, the most valuable lesson being how to think.
    We grew closer when I was an adult and could stand up to him.
    I’m afraid I’m more like him than I care to admit.Luckily, I’d decided not to have children by the time I was 15, to end that cycle of abuse.

    Wonderful man. Wonderful interview. Just to touch on the subject of grief - It's strange thing, because it can be why some people avoid talking to you (either due to it bringing to the surface, the feelings of grief that they still carry, or simply being completely unaware or unable to relate) or can be the thing that you bond over.

    Love the discussion.
    There is another side to telling everyone about a terminal diagnosis.
    I was given 18months to 2 years on being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Honestly opened up, told everyone and the word spread through the flats where I live. Everyone became patient and so kind. I went into treatment of which I was warned was unlikely to extend my prognosis. Yet here I am nearly 7 years later still in remission and half believing being so open has meant many thought I was either making it up or exaggerating the diagnosis. Fortunately my wife was present during that appointment and is thus a witness. Often, now I feel I wished I'd kept the news to myself.

    Well I hope Richard sees this because I'd like him to know that from the first time I saw him I loved his face. I felt and still do that there's so much authentic emotional life in his face that he steals every scene. Incidentally, I must say how wonderful he was in the Marple thingy which I watch over and over again just to see him slay the part of the writer nephew Raymond. I laugh like mad every time.

    He dropped his agent after the agent got him his role in ‘withnail and I’. I guess he thought the agent wasn’t good enough once he hit the heady heights. It’s a shame it didn’t last. He should have stayed put then maybe the agent might’ve found him another good role, coz no one else did! I liked ‘Jack and Sarah’ though.
