Actors are actually very supportive of each other.

Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

I love perfumes. Every morning when my girlfriend and I come down to the courtyard in our block of flats we're assailed by the most delicious scent - jasmine round a doorway. It almost makes me swoon.

Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.

When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.

My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
