I don't feel I'm a compulsive person. I multitask. I'm really well-organised, and I have lots of people to help me.

It's exciting to be with really, really good people. Some people make you feel like you've got to up your game. Working with good people is always good.

It's about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message. I always think about a little gay boy in Wisconsin or a little lesbian in Arkansas seeing someone like me, and if I cannot be open in my life, how on earth can they?

Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte.

I'd been depressed before, of course. But I'm talking about really depressed. Not just feeling a bit down or sad, a depression that has something to do with biorhythms. I'm talking about the kind of depressed that floats in upon you like a fog. You can feel it coming and you can see where it is going to take you but you are powerless, utterly powerless to stop it. I know now.

Kids are more genuine. When they come up and want to talk to you, they don't have an agenda. It's more endearing and less piercing to your aura.

I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
