Be Yourself. No One Else Can.

I’m More Comfortable With Myself Than When I Was Younger. I Hated Myself Then. Wait, I Didn’t Hate Myself – That’s A Strong Word. But I Was So Diffident. I Didn’t Know How To Act, For One. I Had No Confidence In That Area Or In Myself At All, Really. I Had A Big Inner Critic And Still Do. I Just Don’t Listen To It So Much.

I'm Suffering From Stage Fright. I Don't Like Making Speeches. [...] I'm The Kind Of Introvert Actor Who Likes Putting On Other People's Clothes And Pretending To Be Somebody Else, Which Is Completely Crazy Choice Of Profession. So, I Don't Enjoy Public Speaking And I Have Every Sympathy For Anyone Who Has To Do It And Doesn't Enjoy It.

When It Comes To Acting, People Talk About The Suspension Of Disbelief That You Ask Of The Audience. Before That Starts, You Have To, As An Actor, Suspend Your Own Disbelief.

There Is No Normality In Life. Having Two Houses Means That We Can Get Out Of Each Other's Hair - Which, Let's Face It, We've Both Got A Lot Of.

Most Of My Relationships Were People In The Business. Having Said That, Me And Tim Don't Really Talk That Much About Work. He Comes Into My Bit Of The House Every So Often To Vent But We Don't Really Have Very High, Cultured Conversations.
