जिस उम्र में ज़्यादातर युवा अपने जीसीएसई (बोर्ड परीक्षाओं) की तैयारी कर रहे होते हैं, मैं अचानक एक जेट-सेटर बन गया था, रातों-रात हॉलीवुड और लंदन के वेस्ट एंड की शान बन गया था। मेरी बचकानी इच्छाओं और नासमझ राय को भी पूरी इज़्ज़त दी जाती थी।

At an age when most youngsters are preparing for their GCSEs, I was suddenly a jet-setter, briefly the toast of Hollywood and London's West End. My immature wishes and naive opinions were treated with respect.

मैं 'ईस्टएन्डर्स' शो करने के लिए बिल्कुल तैयार हूँ। ठीक वैसे ही जैसे कि अगर मुझे 'कोरोनेशन स्ट्रीट' का प्रस्ताव मिले। दोनों ही सूरतों में, यह अपनी जड़ों की तरफ लौटने जैसा होगा।

I'd definitely be up for 'EastEnders.' Just the same as I would if 'Coronation Street' was offered. Either way, it would be like going back to my roots.

शायद मैं अपनी कब्र तक 'द डॉजर' के रूप में ही जाना जाऊँगा, लेकिन कम से कम मैंने शो-बिजनेस के इतिहास में अपनी एक अलग छाप तो छोड़ी है।

I guess I'll go to my grave as the Dodger, but at least I've made my mark on show-business history.

मैं अपने करियर में जो कुछ झेल चुका हूँ, उसे देखता हूँ तो लगता है कि मुझे इस समय आपसे बात ही नहीं करनी चाहिए थी। मुझे तो दस बार मर जाना चाहिए था।

I look at what I've gone through in my career and I really shouldn't be talking to you now. I should be dead ten times over.

मुझे एक सेलिब्रिटी माना जाता है। मैंने जो कुछ भी किया है... वह बच्चों के लिए किया है। जब तक मैं लगातार काम कर रहा था, तब तक सब ठीक था, क्योंकि हालाँकि मेरा अपना कोई बच्चा नहीं है, लेकिन बड़ों की तुलना में बच्चों के साथ मेरा तालमेल बेहतर बैठता है।

I'm thought of as a celebrity. Everything I've ever done... has been for children. As long as I was working constantly, that was fine, because, although I don't have any children, I do relate better to them than adults.

प्रसिद्धि को अपने ऊपर हावी न होने देना बहुत कठिन है क्योंकि आपको लगातार यह बताया जाता है कि आप कितने बेहतरीन हैं। कुछ समय बाद आपको लगने लगता है कि इसमें कुछ तो सच्चाई होगी ही क्योंकि इतने सारे लोग गलत नहीं हो सकते।

It's very hard not to let fame affect you because you are continually being told how good you are. After a while you begin to think there must be some truth in it because all those people can't be wrong.

लाइव दर्शकों के सामने परफॉर्म करने जैसा नशा किसी और चीज़ में नहीं है।

There is no buzz like performing for a live audience.

जब तक मुझे मुंह के कैंसर का पता नहीं चला था, तब तक मैंने इसके बारे में कभी नहीं सुना था।

Until I was diagnosed with mouth cancer, I'd never heard of it.

जब तक मुझे मुंह के कैंसर का पता नहीं चला था, तब तक मैंने इसके बारे में कभी नहीं सुना था। मैंने बहुत जल्दी यह सीख लिया कि मेरी जीवनशैली ने मुझे एक चलता-फिरता टाइम बम बना दिया था। मैं बहुत ज़्यादा सिगरेट पीता था और उससे भी कहीं ज़्यादा शराब पीता था और ज़ाहिर है कि ये दोनों मिलकर एक जानलेवा मिश्रण बन जाते हैं।

Until I was diagnosed with mouth cancer, I'd never heard of it. What I learned very quickly was that my lifestyle had made me a walking time bomb. I was a heavy smoker and an even heavier drinker and apparently together they are a deadly mixture.
