As An Actor, You Are Aware Of

I Have Memories Of Clouds Whisking By While Sitting In The Pushchair On The Roof Of My Parents' Flat. I Loved It! I Just Loved Staring At The Clouds And Dreaming Away.

One Of The Best Things About Being An Actor Is That It's A Meritocracy.

One Of The First Roles I Had On Stage Was With A Brilliant Director In A Brilliant Play With A Brilliant Cast, But I Just Couldn't Find My Way Into The Heart Of The Character. I Found Myself Straining A Lot. When It Started. I Felt Lost. That Was The Eugène Ionesco Play Rhinoceros. I Don't Think I Was Prepared For That. I Don't Think I Had The Full Tool Kit To Do It Justice. It's A Very Difficult Play, It's An Extraordinarily Difficult Part, And I Never Felt I Really Got It Right. Far From It. To A Degree, Hamlet Was The Same.

We All Want To Escape Our Circumstances, Don't We? Especially If You Are An Actor.

Being On Set Is Quite Difficult, Because It's So Big And You've Got To Try And Relax, Which Isn't Easy When You Know You're In A Massive Film. I Was Terrified For Quite A Long Time.
