I've got a serious-looking head.
Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.
When it comes to parenthood everyone thinks they will be terrible at it. We don't think we have it in us. Then you find out that you do, which truly is a miracle in life.
A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.
You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another.
I don't like to rehearse. And I couldn't understand how you could go through eight weeks of rehearsal, without exhausting every possibility. To the point where, you know, you would just lie gasping on the floor!
I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.
I'm woefully one-track-minded.
I'm not keen on history being tampered with... to any extent.
I'm not picky, quite honestly.
At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.
I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.
