Don't knock rationalization. Where would we be without it? I don't know anyone who'd get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex. Have you ever gone a week without a rationalization?

I'm always interested in craft and I was interested to see how people work. For me, it's a little like lessons at school.

I like a pickled cucumber. A regular cucumber I'm not so interested in.

Sometimes I think that people's characters get forged, at least in part, from their names.

I'm a humble student of acting myself and part of that studentship is teaching.

The universe is so big, there's so many worlds, there must be one of them or more, something that's alive.

I'm always interested in the unexpected and know that things, especially in show business, but in life generally, are inevitably fleeting to one extent.
