When I look around at Broadway and the West End, theatre is becoming an exclusive club.

The only thing worse than a loser is someone who won't admit he played badly.

To look in the eyes of audiences and see the kind of naughty glee that they got with being on the inside, the audience becomes your co-conspirators.

You risk working with this director, you risk making this movie, you risk working with another actor you don't know. It makes your heart beat faster. And it keeps you interested.

You can't win a marathon without putting some bandaids on your nipples!

Theatre is alive and it is now, and then it's gone.

I have long been a supporter of The Princes Trust, and so when American Express asked me to launch Amex Be Inspired and help young people build their confidence and fulfil their potential, I was delighted to get involved.
