As a director, you have a thousand things going on in your head, and of course, that's going to be difficult. That's going to mean that some things get overlooked. And so, for us as performers, being the selfish pricks that we are, we're sitting there being concerned about ourselves all the time and our character's through-line.

The great thing about literature is that you're making up your own interpretation of the character anyway. Also, you're given basically a bible of who a character is and you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot if you're not reading it.

People can hate on you for doing what it is that makes you happy, but ultimately it has to belong to you. It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I'm a horrible romantic!

I don't do so well with people pretending to be happy. When I was 16, I went with my girlfriend at the time and her family to Disneyland and I was so grumpy the whole time.

Hamlet' is obviously a role a lot of actors want to portray or be involved with in some way and that I'd like to be involved in.

I think there are times in life where you're automatically drawn to somebody and it's weird - you freak out a bit.
