I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change.

If I could have any artist's work on my sitting room wall it would probably be by Van Gogh or Picasso.

I hope to have more time to think, to look at the sky, dealing with less crisis management, to learn another language, to travel.

Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.

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.'

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.
