I couldnt imagine something asking as much of me as House Of Cards. Its a great warm-up for coming back to the screen.

Whether thats positive or not, people are talking about the Old Vic Theater again with passion and commitment and controversy and debate.

You have to always be ready, always be alive, and always be willing to move in a new direction.

Its a really wonderful thing to focus your life on something other than your own personal career and ambition.
