Acting doesn't have to be threadbare misery all the time.
To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble, hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them, they lack the joy that the Irish have.
Honestly, I get more recognized for 'Three Men and a Little Lady' than 'Harry Potter'.
I had a ball doing Harry Potter.
Theater is dangerously open to repetition. Its exciting when you hit on a new way.
Also, an area that interests me - and it will probably take years to state what I mean - is the period of the rise of democracy, with Tom Paine, which is around the turn of the 18th century into the 19th.
