The real challenge in acting is in comedy. It's easier to get that gasp in a drama. Not easy, because you still have to find that emotional pitch. And when you do something in drama and you hear that sob from the audience it's so fulfilling. But as a comic actor, when the laugh is supposed to come and you punch in that line and nothing happens it is dreadful. It's horrific and you feel like dying right there.

My memories of camp - I was four years old to eight years old - they're fond memories.

We should indeed keep calm in the face of difference, and live our lives in a state of inclusion and wonder at the diversity of humanity.

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.

The starship Enterprise was a metaphor starship Earth, and the vision was that the strength of this starship lay in its diversity.

We must remind ourselves that an assault on any one of our liberties and freedoms is an assault on all.

The theatre for me is much more satisfying as an actor because you are working in front of a living, breathing, throbbing, gasping, laughing and hopefully applauding audience. And the immediate connection you get with that audience is very satisfying.
