The theater is the thing I love doing most.

People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I started off as a theatre designer, and by some extraordinary circumstance I saw something in Stratford-upon-Avon, and realized that that's the kind of design I want, but also that that's the kind of designer I'll never be.

This is just the loveliest news. I'm so happy for everybody involved, and so proud to have been part of the wonderful experience that Philomena has been.

Never fall out of love with life

It was good to learn so early. They're not going to be kind to you. You have to do it and get on, and then gulp down and get better.

I like to push myself beyond the limit every now and again.
