I am 58 and it's difficult for people to gauge my age.

I do like to be creative and I'm very lucky that I've been given different areas in which I'm able to do that - whether it be film or television or theatre or whatever. I'm also still into music and recording.

Life's too short to be working with divas.
Richard O'Brien

Not that I have any interest in saying goodbye to Rocky. I absolutely adore being involved and a part of something that is really a phenomenon.
Richard O'Brien

So all the rest is O.K., but fame is a hollow ground, isn't it? It's an empty kind of thing.
