It's bad enough for an actor, but actresses have a hell of a time. There are more of them for a start, and far fewer parts to go round. I've seen too much of what it can do to girls to want my daughter to be any part of it. People always say how difficult it is for two actors to live together, and in many ways it is. But at least we can share the problems and understand the pressures and the demands it makes on you. My first wife was nothing to do with the profession and I think it was difficult for her to understand when I came home shattered at the end of a day's filming or rehearsing. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't actually know what it's like.
