Bronson: The Abominable Dr. Phibes.
Q: On the other hand, what do you think could use an update?
Q: What is one work of art that you think would be blasphemous to remake?
Bronson: Perfect Strangers, but apparently they already did, in Russia. Also The Wizard of Oz, which is in the works.
Q: What genre will your book be and is there a target publication date?
Bronson: It’s a secret and not yet.
Q: Did you keep any mementos from the set of Perfect Strangers?
Bronson: I’ve got all the vests somewhere.
Q: Do you have any new audio books coming out in the future?
Bronson: Yes, Brewster’s Millions, Immortality, Ink, and The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear.
Q: How did you enjoy working with her in Putting it Together?
Bronson: I assume part of this question would explain who “her” is. If you mean Carol Burnett, she is pure light. The other “her” was Ruthie Henshall, and she was adorable and wonderful.
Q: The theatre gives you the wonderful (hopefully) experience of immediate audience feedback. Have you ever had a time where it was so strong that it almost overwhelmed you?
Bronson: At the curtain call of the final episode of Perfect Strangers someone in the audience asked if we would do the Dance of Joy one final time, and as I said, “Now we are so happy….” the word “happy” caught in my throat, and I was bent over double with emotion, crying, and the audience was trying to somehow snap me out of it, and Mark was whispering, “pull it together” and it was overwhelming, and agonizing.
Q: What takes your breath away?
Bronson: A baby’s smile.
Q: What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Bronson: Watching Family Matters.
Q: What is your favourite virtue?
Bronson: Not quite clear if you mean a virtue of mine or a virtue of anyone’s. About myself? My compassion for everyone, no matter whom. About anyone, anywhere? Generosity and self-sacrifice.
