I Wouldn't Want To Leave It So

I Wouldn't Want To Leave It So Long Before Doing A Play Again, I Get Very Stolid And Sluggish If I Do Too Much Telly.

I Try To Be Fussy About The Parts I Play. I Think That's Quite Prudent, It Means You're Stretching Different Muscles, And You're Scaring Yourself By Doing Something Which Is Out Of Your Comfort Zone.

I Think People Ought To Do What They Feel Useful At The Time. If I Do Things Because I Ought To Do Them, I Switch Off.

There's Always A Concern As An Actor That You'll Be Boring Unless Your Character Is Swinging From A Chandelier.

The Security Comes, As An Actor, In Knowing That You're Not In Control. If You Try To Control Your Career, Or How People Perceive You, You'll Make Yourself Unhappy, Because Life Doesn't Work Like That. So Much Is Luck. It's Much Better To Let Yourself Off, To Think, 'there's Nothing I Can Do.'
