I'm not frightened of a bit of silence.

I've realised I need a gnawing, nagging, anxious doubt when I wake at 4 A.M.

I will absolutely say that whatever job I was asked to do, whatever schedule I was asked to work, it is never going to be as hard as looking after a child.

At my core, the glass isn't half-empty, it's not even what I ordered in the first place.

I'm naturally quite lazy, and I actually think I'm lax about my career. None of my work defines who I am.

My advice to you is please don't ever sit in your room and lock yourself away because you don't think you're good enough.

If you want more people to come to the theatre, don't put the prices at £50. You have to make theatre inclusive, and at the moment the prices are exclusive. Putting TV stars in plays just to get people in is wrong. You have to have the right people in the right parts. Stunt casting and being gimmicky does the theatre a great disservice. You have to lure people by getting them excited about a theatrical experience.
