I love getting presents. And awards. I'd do whatever they told me to do.

I do a lot of American plays. I've done a lot of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and Neil Simon. I was in 'Sisters Rosensweig,' 'Six Degrees of Separation,' all of that stuff. So we're very familiar with America. I did 400 performances of 'Born Yesterday.' I did 700 performances of 'They're Playing Our Song.'

I'm in fact Australian but my mother's English so I've got no problem playing a domineering English woman.

It's one of the functions of the theater to shock and titillate and appall, apart from entertain and delight.

I'm under five feet; I'm very small, 4'11 1/2.

Being a theater actor, I've done a lot of plays where I've seen someone else play the same role in another production. Especially with the classics: Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams.

I think that's why we're always so fascinated with criminal stories because there but for the grace of God it could be us.
