I place an enormous premium on loyalty. If someone betrays me, I can forgive them rationally, but emotionally I have found it impossible to do so.

Unless you are an enormous name, you never stop auditioning.

Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge.

My father died prematurely at the age of 52 when I was 24, and it is a recurring regret that he never lived to see me succeed beyond university and drama.

If you're doing well, you're a target, nobody's interested in you except how you can be of use to them.

I am a very judgmental person. Of myself and other people. I recognise it's a great fault, but I have no power over that.

When I meet a couple, I'm always interested to know if they have been together for a long time, or how loyal they are, because I know that will impact on how much I'm prepared to trust them.
