I don't think you should exploit your own pain.

Courtroom dramas can be boring.

But I've also spread my net very wide. If there's one thing that I've done on purpose it's to take whatever job, so long as it's interesting and challenging, whether it's theatre, radio, TV or film.

You have a lot more to give, the older you get. And you want to give it. I mean, some people want to give it. But there is a desire to pass down, to have a hand in the past and a hand in the future. There's a continuum.

I think the way we talk about cancer has really evolved. I remember the way my grandmother used to talk about it, like a death sentence, no-one would even mention the word.

I don't think you should exploit your own pain.

I'm always curious, but I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn. I get to travel to places I never thought I'd go.
