I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.

In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.

I usually can find a way to do a character to make it real and work. But sometimes it's a struggle sustaining that, because there's such a level of personal involvement and personal, physical, and emotional distraughtness.

Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?

I was so scared of going back to the theatre after Hamlet. I didn't know if I'd do a play again because I was afraid of the power of it.

I had to be a grown-up when I should have been a little boy, and now that I'm a grown-up my little-boyness has exploded out of me. I've lived my life backwards.

It's actually quite a good ethos for life: go into the unknown with truth, commitment, and openness and mostly you'll be okay.
