The difficulty with any sort of esteem is that more is expected of you.
I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself - that is the best combination.
In contrast, the control you have in a theatre is very attractive to me.
I think you've got to have your feet planted firmly on the ground, especially in this business, and you must not believe things that are said or written about you, because everything gets out of proportion one way or the other.
I need to learn every day.
Seriously, though, I think I never ceased to be grateful of the fact that I am able to do a job that I really love - I never got over that.
