I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

To me, character in a person is judged by the decisions that are made under pressure.

We've been trained since kindergarten: Be nice, be kind, share, put on a smile. So we're conditioned to squash our natural selfish instincts, and that's the right thing for society.

When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything!

Actors, writers, directors - that triumvirate of creativity - we have to rely and trust each other to be able to get to the final product.

As a director you come in and tell the actors how good they are.

I appreciate my role as an actor much more after I direct because it's just easier.
