I think it's very important for Arts Ministers to purchase art, to attend art, to validate art.

I become quite inhibited particularly when I do comedy, I won't - there's a whole thing of allowing an audience in and if you - if you cover yourself with a mask of, kind of, severity, which I'm quite good at doing, that's masking fear of course, then people feel shut out.

What takes courage: no make - up. No make - up at all. Like The Matrix. I did the matrix and they had a rule all the characters in The Matrix, except the leads, of course, wore absolutely nothing on their face.

In comedy, it's very, very important to be able to open up so that people feel they're included.

I think I've always been much better at responding kind of reasonably appropriately to whatever is required.

You don't like to have people believing that you're doing the wrong thing which is why we're trying to make sure that people recognise that we do the right thing.
