Interviewer: When people think of Tim Curry as Frank N Furter – What’s your feelings about that? 

Tim: I don’t worry about it too much because I mean for one thing it sort of doesn’t happen in England anymore because the Shakespeare series is out and I’ve done other work since then – So I don’t have that problem in England anyway. I just assume that I won’t have the problem later here – because I mean – and I don’t really – I don’t sort of see it too much as a problem. I think if you do see it as a problem it becomes one. I mean it never occurred to me for example that I would be type-cast and I wasn’t – Um – I don’t think there’s any point in actually going around saying – you know – ‘It’s not me! It’s not me!’ The other work is going to make that self-evident – so there’s no point in actually worrying about it and it’s great that – you know – people liked it. Lucky to get it.
