You Can Always Pick Out Stage Actors

My Acting Stopped Being About Disguise And Became About Truth Which Suits The Camera, So My Film Career Took Off When I Came Out.

I Don't Make Much Distinction Between Being A Stand-up Comic And Acting Shakespeare - In Fact, Unless You're A Good Comedian, You're Never Going To Be Able To Play Hamlet Properly.

Personally, Coming Out Was One Of The Most Important Things I've Ever Done, Lifting From My Shoulders The Millstone Of Lies That I Hadn't Even Realized I Was Carrying.

When You Were On Stage, You Could Be Absolutely Open About Your Emotions And Indulge Them And Express Yourself In A Way That - In Real Life - I Wasn't Doing.

There Are Directors, And I Think This Is True Of All Directors, It Would Be True If I Was A Director - If The Actor Didn't Want To Do What I Was Suggesting, I Would Let Him Do It His Way, And Then I Would Say To Him, "just Give Me One Where You Do What The Director Wants", And That, Of Course, Is The Take That's Used.
