1. SOUNDBITE (English) Sir Ian McKellen, actor:
"I don't think I look back very much. The highlight at the moment for me is turning up here at 7:30 every night, matinées on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and doing the show. I'm very, very grateful that I, to chance that I can still do it. And I'm not a fool - I don't think I, I won't be acting for much longer, so I'm not looking to be in a musical any longer or do a world tour or something any longer. I quite like living at home, in my own bed, within striking distance of the theater."
(Reporter: "But I can't imagine you stopping.")
"Can't you?"
(Reporter: "Your schedule is so packed. Don't you want to sit in the Grapes (the pub McKellen co-owns) and put your feet up and have a glass of wine?")
"No, I'm not very good putting my feet up, no."
