There's very few directors that know what that rehearsal's for. And often it's just about calming down the director. If he could see it or she sees it, she goes oh, it's going to be okay.

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.

I'm always interested in playing different people, in different situationsIt doesn't matter to me whether someone is in love with a man or a woman. I find the idea of love and romance interesting. I'm a sucker for it. I like playing someone who's falling in love because I like the sensation of it. People do extraordinary things when they're falling in love.

Ultimately, you have to not worry about people thinking you should have played him differently. You're the one playing the part so it has to be yours.

From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.

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.

I've sort of done a play every four or five years I guess if I look back in my career. And I think that's good.
