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.

Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it.

I can't judge the characters I play, because it's for the audience to do. What I can try to do is to understand and embody what were they going through? How did they make the decisions they made? That to me is a more interesting way to approach something, rather than saying this person is a villain and that person is this and - because it's not very interesting to play that anyway.

Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.

Politics and acting are very closely tied. The job is to convince.

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

I cotton to the idea that people are much closer to being flawed; they have problems and dont always make the right choices.
