I just love New York, I love the people. The energy of the place. I really feel energized working here. I've always been made to feel very welcome, and it's a tremendous city.

I still buy CDs and DVDs, but generally for more obscure material.

There are lots of good directors I would like to work with; I want to be inspired and challenged by them.

I think it's kind of nice, in this day and age of instant gratification, that you have to wait for something.

What I enjoy is a collaboration. Working with other like-minded people. People who have brilliant minds and big hearts.

It's quite an interesting time, the '20s, because the politics of England were changing quite a lot, and the class structure was starting to shift a little.

It's important in show business to have friends who understand the cut and thrust of everyday working life and the constant rejection.
