I Was Going To Be Living There

So Much Luck! I'm Not Putting Myself Down, I'm Not Saying I Don't Have Talent - I Must Have, To Have Got This Far - But I Honestly Believe That Some Of The Greatest Actors In America Are Tending Bar And Waiting Tables And Driving Taxis, And It Will Never Happen For Them.

I Like To Learn The Lines And Not Get Any Precontrived Things In My Head About The Part. Just Get On Stage And See What The Other Actors Are Doing, And Respond To Them As Honestly As I Can.

And Then I Went To Visit My Sister In The States And All Of A Sudden It Was Just Like, It's Like... It's Like The Movie Wizard Of Oz When All Of A Sudden It Changes From Black And White To Glorious Technicolor.

I Don't Take Much From My Own Father, Because He Was A Very Austere, Quiet, Private Man Who Would Come Home From Work, Go To His Parlour And Play Beethoven On His Piano.

The First Play I Did Was 'philadelphia Here I Come.' Can You Imagine That? I Am 37 Years Old I Am Doing My Second Professional Play And I Am On Stage With John Malkovich. Joan Allen, Laurie Metcalf And Gary Sinise. One Huge Name After Another. I Was Terrified And Petrified, Could Hardly Get A Word Out Of My Mouth.
