I Was Very Keen To Work On

I Play Enough Other Mad People, As Well And Some Sane People, To Vary The Palette Of What's Scrabbling Around In My Head And Soul To Bring To The Floor, As A Storyteller.

There Are Other People Who Don't Mind Shouting From The Pulpit And Being Judged For It, And They Do A Hell Of A Lot Of Good - Real, On-the-ground, Life-changing Good. So I Think It Can Sometimes Be A Balancing Act.

I'm Interested In Art For All. I Don't Want It To Be Only The Sons And Daughters Of Tory Mps Who Get To See My Plays.

One Of The Fears Of Having Too Much Work Is Not Having Time To Observe. And Once You Get Recognised, There Is Nowhere For You To Look Any More. You Can't Sit On A Night Bus And Watch It All Happen.

I Always Get Self-conscious About What I Look Like In A Film, But Less So If I'm A Character Very Far Removed From Who I Am. Then I Just Worry About The Performance, And That's Equally An Odd Experience.
