“When Attenborough asked me to do Gandhi it was almost like stepping off one boat and stepping on to another, even though both boats are going at 60 miles per hour.”

Meaning

This reads as a comparison between two huge changes, where one role leads into another with a mix of exhilaration and danger. The image of moving from one boat to another suggests transition under pressure, and the speed makes the shift feel precarious as well as exciting. It lands when a new opportunity is thrilling but also makes you feel exposed.
