We're all victims of our own hubris at times.

It's much more interesting when you go to different places - make a left turn when nobody expects you to make a left turn, and make a right when nobody expects you to do that.

I often make the analogy with tennis. Every match the rules are the same, but no game is ever the same. Theatre is like that. Every time is different.

The 24 Hour Plays is a quite brilliant, exhilarating event for everyone concerned.

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 dont even think in terms of ambition.

If someone can watch an entire season of a TV series in one day, doesnt that show an incredible attention span?
