There's something really incredible about watching what someone else does with a role that we know: the Hamlets or the Henry Vs or the Othellos or the Cleopatras that we've seen on stage.

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.

Nature's message is clear: we can't keep doing what we're doing now.

There are ways in which you can make sure that even if people come to the theatre because they know an actor or actress, by the end, theyve forgotten that, and they leave going, Wow - what an amazing play.

Kids arent growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.

Sometimes you walk away from playing somebody and you think, "Wow that was far as from my own experience as I can possibly be." And sometimes you walk away thinking, "Wow. There are qualities in that character that I didn't realize I had." And those can be both interesting and uncomfortable.

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