I don't expect to be thin, but I'd like to feel a bit healthier.

I'm a very recent convert to the gay scene. I went to a party a couple of years ago and met a very nice man who took me under his wing and started taking me out to clubs. It was a revelation.

It's very likely that graduates, current employees and retirees have some wonderful pieces of Deer Park history in their closets or garages.

I am a bit of a daydreamer.

You have to get rid of characters to make room for new ones, but you also have to recognize when things are done.

What fun is life without a bit of showing off?

I played Thersites and I remember we were also doing some places out of town before starting our run at The Old Vic in London and we were at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford and I walked on stage and I've got an opening speech that begins: "Agamemnon, how if he had boils?" And I went on and said: "Agamemnon..." And a woman in the front row just went 'tut'. I thought: "I've only done four syllables, give us a chance!" I got one word out and the audience were already tutting. It was worse than any heckle I ever had doing comedy. So, I'll stick to gnomes.
