With Narration, You Have To Be Very

When I Choose A Role It's Either Because I Recognise The Man, Or That I'm Very Curious To Know Him. If I Neither Recognise Nor Know Him, Then It Is Better That I Don't Play Him.

I Think Romeo And Juliet Is Uplifting. That's How Much A Son Wishes To Avenge His Father. That Is How Much Two Young People Can Love Each Other.

If I Were To Play Somebody Who Ran A Fish And Chip Shop, I Would Not Work In A Fish And Chip Shop For Three Months. Staring At Chips Is Not Going To Help Me In My Performance.

One Of The Greatest Things Drama Can Do, At It's Best, Is To Redefine The Words We Use Every Day Such As Love, Home, Family, Loyalty And Envy. Tragedy Need Not Be A Downer.

You Can Throw Away The Privilege Of Acting, But That Would Be Such A Shame. The Tribe Has Elected You To Tell Its Story. You Are The Shaman/healer, That's What The Storyteller Is, And I Think It's Important For Actors To Appreciate That. Too Often Actors Think It's All About Them, When In Reality It's All About The Audience Being Able To Recognize Themselves In You. The More You Pull Away From The Public, The Less Power You Have On Screen.
