I used to joke that one of the reasons there was a lack of classical work on my CV was because I couldn't operate in those kinds of trousers.

With stage, you feel completely like you're just in a bubble. I love not being able to see anything. I love coming out and I can't see anything because the lights are so bright and it's pitch black. That's ideal for me, that's when I have the best time.
