Painting is a hobby for me.

I always thought I would be a marine biologist because I love the sea - but considering the fact that I've always loved acting and the theater, I don't think I ever gave anything else much of a chance.

I fell in love with Africa while I was there.

And not to mean that I think I'm some special person, but I think we're all here for a very specific reason and once you figure out what that is then you're on the right track and we're all on the ride together.

I find that actors who are wanting to pursue tv or films don't seem to have much interest in classical theatre.

Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.

And I think because there is an essence of me that cares about other people and what other people think then that then makes me seem very sweet and polite.
