John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.
The hierarchy of class in London was rigid. It was like a religion. It still is to a certain extent.
I am not a classical actor; I am an entertainer. I fell into classical acting by mistake and actually started out as a singer. I wrote the music for a musical play and it transferred to London and I sang the songs in London.
