[on an early role he took that required experienced horsemanship] I'd never ridden before in my life, but I wasn't going to let on. Once on the set a nasty wrangler spotted my uncertainty and whacked the huge horse as soon as I mounted. It went galloping over a hill towards the camera while I hung on for dear life - totally terrified. The director said I was riding badly and the shot was unusable. I told him that I was playing an Irish character and that was the way the Irish rode. He accepted that and I got to keep the part.

Of course the entertainment industry is littered with burn-outs and drop-outs. Staying the distance requires an ability to control the rat in the skull and having no fear of rejection. You have to be a hustler.

You have to do everything, particularly if you want to avoid being typecast. I was a Beatnik and a Hippie. In the 1960s we drove a Kombi van from Switzerland to India. Along the way we discovered Subud. Mardiah and I first came to Indonesian in 1971, but we didn't decide to buy a house here till three years ago. It's a lovely place to relax and enjoy life.

It took me eight years to break through in Hollywood. I was groping around trying to figure out where the path was to the big time. Connections are everything.
