Keats himself spoke about how Shakespeare was capable of erasing himself completely from the characters he had created. As an actor, that is what I'm trying to do.

I do get stopped on the street, although rarely. And they always have something lovely to say.

I'm not tortured and neurasthenic - I'm really not.

I love the characters I've had the opportunity to play.

I'd like to have a go at directing.

I'm really hopeless with technology - I don't even have a computer.

It's fun to pretend you're good at something you know you wouldn't be good at in real life.
