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

I like to play a wide range of characters. The more they're unlike me, the better I like it.

I was an office secretary for a long time. A good secretary.

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

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

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.
