I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.

I actually like to audition. I prefer to audition for something because I don't want to walk onto a stage or a set and [have someone] say, "You are so far away from what I thought you were going to bring in." I would feel more comfortable to audition and say, "Here's my take on it - take it or leave it".

I'm hideously shy as myself but on stage I can run around naked and bite the heads off fish.

I almost never give interviews. It's not because I want to play hard to get. It's just that I never seem to have anything interesting to say.

Onstage I'm the one in control - I'm not at the mercy of how an editor chooses to put the scene together later. I can do things onstage that I would never do in real life. It's very freeing.

I don't like working in front of a camera.
