The great fear I've had to overcome is the fear of failure. It can be safer to stay in a comfort zone that's not stretching yourself.

At times as an actor, it's often times unclear as to what the directors envision for a project.

Musicals are finally kind of coming back to a degree, perhaps out of a sense of nostalgia.

At the end of the day, I really go with my personal taste and with what's on the page in terms of character. But beyond that, there's a complexity about the scripts I tend to respond to. I've not lost my curiosity about how the world functions. And a script that can embody that and thematically explore bigger questions in a way which seems fresh is likely to get my attention. Frankly, I also have an eye for what will appeal to an audience, as opposed to a self-indulgent exercise that isn't taking the audience into account.

I was this very precocious kid with a big personality. When my mother saw that modelling was something I enjoyed, she didnt dissuade me.

Intelligence starts to get pretty dull if it's not coupled with kindness.

I'm guessing that musicals didn't make sense anymore because of the changes in the political environment that began in the late Sixties, an era of self-awareness and social revolutions.
