I wouldn't even begin to presume that the talent of an able actor is anything like the talents of a prodigious musician.

I sometimes think that theatre is a torture.

Everything contains its antithesis.

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

In our own, theatre can be the place where we come together, reaching with and through stories, to who we are and to who we can be.

I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'

There's still a massive inequality between the genders. If you look at the trajectory of a male actor's career, there's no hesitation or hiatus. But women after the age of 35 to 40 are rarely placed in the centre of the story.
