I think if you're going on thinking oh, I can do this with my eyes shut, then it's probably not the right thing to be doing, you know.

I think theatre reminds us what we're doing as actors, because every night and every matinee day, you have an audience telling you what's working and what's not. And that's very good for us as actors to hone our skills.

It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge, and I'll always give him my trust.

...as an actor there`s nothing better than a great moody moment to play with nothing to say. It`s so much easier to do because you can really get inside your head.

Once you've agreed the script, you must be willing to go as far as it needs to go on set.

I believe that unless it's a scene where I'm alone, then of course I could do what I want but I think good acting is about what happens between people, not on your face and my face.

There is some really good crack when I come back here. This is where I learned to swear.
