The minute you start assuming that the audience is very happy to see the same show again, you're dead.

When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum's house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.

I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there.

Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.

I do see a big difference in the American work ethic compared to the British work ethic in a lot of artists.

Work hard, be patient, and be a sponge while learning your business. Learn how to take criticism. Follow your gut instincts and don't compromise.

I was so tired, wasn't having fun any more, and wasn't sure if I wanted to do this any longer. So I turned my phone off and sorted my head out. It was the opposite of a breakdown really, it was a break-up - I got rid of all the idiots, realised my job was supposed to be fun, and got on with my life.
