I just want it to be better, I just want to be better, but this is very encouraging.

As the years have gone on, I find one of the dangers of watching dailies... is you fall in love with moments.

People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.

I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.

People sometimes say, "Isn't it boring, isn't it always the same? It's the same lines." I go, "Well, do you play tennis? Because that's the best analogy I can give." If you go out eight times and play tennis eight times this week, yeah it's the same rules but it's a different game every time you're out on that court.And that's the best analogy I can come up with the theater.

The movies are not my first priority - the theater is.

The Old Vic has always been first and foremost an actors theatre, a home for great talent and memorable performances.
