I've reprised roles in the theatre, which is somehow more accepted, and where one can automatically go deeper and further into the role.

I'm incredibly lucky that my profession allows me to be where I choose, really.

I think good theaters are really important. They allow you to exist in a space with other people.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.

I think you're peripatetic when you work in this industry. My husband and I are assuming the role of co-artistic directors at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008. But as long as the film industry will have me, I will have it.

I've got a funny old face. Someone described it once, and I think they were being kind, as character. But I know what they mean! I've never been that conventional. I suppose maybe it means that my face can look different in different lights, so I just try and sort of keep it simple when I'm going out, to still look like me.
