I'd Auditioned For The National Youth Theatre

I Love Tv And I Love Making Films And I Love Doing Plays. I Feel Very Lucky To Be Able To Do All Three.

I Think It Sits Quite Happily With Me, The Condition Of Being An Actor. I See Some People Getting Quite Eaten Up With It, With The Insecurities. There Are Times When I Long For Continuity And Stability, But I Also Love The Idea Of Not Knowing What I'll Be Doing Next - Or Even If I'm Going To Work.

I Just Loved The Whole Idea Of Being An Actor.

Nobody's Really Unsympathetic, I Think. People Do Good And Bad Things. If A Character's Totally Unsympathetic, They're Not Real And I'm Not Interested. Even The Real Monsters Have To Have A Spark Of Something You Can Relate To.

It Must Be Odd, Being Recognisable. I Would Hate To Lose That Anonymity. It Happened For A While With 'spooks.' No One Notices Me Now.
