mom good-friend thinking
I think in this world and this industry, if you let it, it does. And I feel that the people who don't have good friends and family around them are the ones who get a little funny. But I'm very lucky. I have good friends and good family and if I ever stepped out of line, my mom would take me down!
war firsts world
I actually collect old First and Second World War memorabilia.
jobs hard-work thinking
I think that among my friends I'm known as being a hard worker; I think if you want to be an actor, there can't be any compromise. You have to work all day, every day. It's not a 9-5 job. There's always something to learn.
expectations great-expectations stories
Great Expectations' is one of the greatest stories.
laughing never-quit theater
For me, one of the biggest thrills is going to a theater and going, "Oh, I got a laugh!" Because you never quite get to hear it [otherwise].
fall believe thinking
Every time I get a role I think, 'I've actually fooled them again, I can't believe they keep falling for this!
actors world matter
You can be the best actor in the world, but if you don't have that one lucky moment, it kind of doesn't matter. There are a lot of amazing actors who will never get the chance to prove themselves because they won't have that one lucky moment.
names actors
All actors have to change their name.
stars thinking actors
On the whole, British actors star in theater, and I think there's something quite grounding about that.
different wonder accents
I always wonder whether I'll get treated differently with a different accent.
people giving advice
I feel arrogant trying to give people advice.
stuff my-friends
I like doing stuff with my friends.
memories thinking skills
Nearly every taping or audition has to be in an American accent, so you don't have a choice; you just have to get good at it. I'm sure you can appreciate accents - it's like learning any skill, you have to work at it and work at it and it takes an awful lot of time, until it's muscle memory and you don't have to think about it anymore.
thinking auditions actors
I think most actors will tell you the same thing; when you're not working you put 100 percent into every audition.
