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

Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

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

You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.

Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
