Because I've always been more afraid of writing than I have of doing anything visually such as directing or acting.

Just believe in yourself and to find spirituality that’s going to carry you. Because all the rest is just fluff.

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

But it just comes down to trying to get the work out there and however the team fits together then that's the way it sort of plays into itself.

In film and television you have to be able to see the whole picture in a different way than you do on the stage because you shoot out of order and you're working with technology.

I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.

I’ve been looking at oil paintings from oriental artists lately, and the one artist who’s inspired me right now is a man named Hokusai and I’ve had his book by my bed looking at how he interprets landscapes – mountains and water and flowers and birds.
