stories actors want
If one story becomes too hot, then you can't forget it. As an actor, you want to remain fluid.
people actors kind
I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free – on the fringe – as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me – actors should be paid well.
people actors flats
I can totally understand why people say: 'I'm going to do this T.V. series so that I can buy a flat'. But you've got to see what's of value to you as an actor.
goal trying actors
The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.
moving character actors
The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.
buy people series totally
I can totally understand why people say: 'I'm going to do this T.V. series so that I can buy a flat'. But you've got to see what's of value to you as an actor.
secretive
I am a private person; I think that's important if you're an actor. But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.
I have a terrible superstition of writing things down.
differences privacy secrecy
But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.
jobs simple people
Really I just want to get on with my job, which is to pretend to be lots of different people. Simple as that.
clothes acting important
One of my favourite parts of acting is the clothes that you get to wear, because it's very important.
trying outcomes audience
Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.
mind acting serious
I find any sort of acting that doesn't have any humor in it is mind-numbingly boring. 'Serious acting' is the kind of acting that I don't ever respond to.
drama essence people
It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.
