Making It So: A Memoir

by Patrick Stewart

Goodbye, Camm Lane. Goodbye, Towngate. Goodbye, Sykes Avenue. Goodbye, Mirfield. Goodbye, West Yorkshire, and thank you for all you have given me.

1975’s Hennessy was my first film, and I was only to work on it for a day and a half.

They wanted me to start the following Monday, which told me that I received the offer only because someone else had pulled out. But so what? If I wasn’t their first choice, I was wanted now.

“I know that he is inside you already, Patrick. All you have to do is let him out.”
