I dont even think in terms of ambition.

What I like about Britain is that I can live a normal life here.

I suppose the most important thing is to stay interested. It's very easy in life if you get to a place where you're successful to hit the same groove on the record player over and over again because it's safe.

To me, getting up every single night and trying to reach out to an audience, and trying to dig deeper and further in the play to serve the writer and to understand yourself in that context is how you continue to grow and learn.

What I do is interpret, not create. I may add elements and do something different. That is what is so incredible about theatre. Why do we love it that there are nine Hamletsor six King Lears over two years? We love to watch a different actor attack the same material.

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.

The greatest sound in the theater is silence.
