I Think It Would Be A Problem

I Never Made Conscious Choices. There Were Times In My Life That I Chose The First Job That Came Along Because I Was Broke. I Think That There Were Maybe A Handful Of Times That I Had A Choice. In Recent Years, Ive Had More Of A Choice, And Its Been Very Nice To Have That Choice, But Most Of The Time, You Just Hope That Theres Another Job After This One.

When I Was Younger I Was Always Big; I Was A Fat Boy At School. I Had An Early Growth Spurt, And When I Went To Secondary School I Was Tall Enough To Be A Policeman.

I've Always Loved Teaching Acting. I Think It Helps Me To Kind Of Get Back To Basics. It's Like A Refresher Course For Me As Well, So In A Sense, I'm Hopefully Learning As Much As My Students Are - Or At Least Discovering Or Re-discovering As Much As They Are. I Find That When I Teach, I'm Reminded Of My Own Sort Of Failings. I'm Reminded Of Where I Sometimes Keep Going Wrong.

I Like Doing Everything - Theater And Film, Radio And Tv, Comedy And Tragedy. I Love It All. And I've Never Really Planned Anything - I've Always Looked At My Job In A Rather Simplistic Way. It's Like Being A Plumber. One Day You Might Be Fixing An Early 20th Century Showerhead That Requires Real Detailed Work. The Other Day You Might Just Be Clearing A Sewer. Both Jobs Are Very Different, But All The Tools Come Out Of The Same Box. That's The Way I Look At Acting.

I Love Theater Work Because Of The Immediate Effect Your Performance Has On The Audience. And I Love The Repetition, I Love Getting On The Same Stage For More Than A Month And Reciting The Same Lines, Trying To Make A Small Or Large Step Towards An Improvement In My Acting.
