children entertain manages please time trying
Trying to please everyone can be very hard, but, like 'Shrek' or 'The Simpsons,' 'Robin Hood' manages to entertain adults and children at the same time, but in different ways.
great lost tv
I kind of got lost down a road of TV and film, so it's great to come back to theatre.
funny good
I'm probably not very good at rom-com, being funny on demand; I'll leave that to the comedians.
awful loads slope zealand
I've done an awful lot of skiing all over Europe: I've done Italy, Austria, France. I skied loads in New Zealand - I did pretty much every ski slope I could find.
cast guy shirt takes
I want to be strong enough to cope with the roles, but I don't want to be cast as the guy that takes his shirt off.
annoying asking bloody learnt people shy spend
It's bloody annoying being shy. I'll spend a whole evening at a party asking everyone else about themselves. I'm not being self-deprecating; it's because I'm too shy to talk about myself. So people come away from the evening actually having learnt nothing about me.
The interesting roles have only come since I got into my 30s. But I didn't know that was going to happen.
exists outside
Being thought of as sexy makes one employable, but it's not going to last forever, so I try not to think about it. It's like something that exists outside of me.
certain constantly faces fighting filled names realise survival television ticket
You fight for certain roles, and you realise they're being filled by television and film actors, because theatre is constantly fighting for survival and they need names and faces and ticket sales.
absolute musical profession quite survive
To survive in a profession like this, you have to have absolute discipline and commitment, and I did not quite have it for musical theater.
people time
People get to know me slowly and over the course of time. I'll probably still be a newcomer when I'm 60.
describe themselves
Often you find the character through the things they say. How they talk about other people, how they describe themselves - which is very rare.
alone excited finishing five jackson narrative peter rather stands
The narrative that Peter Jackson has put into 'The Battle of the Five Armies,' it stands alone as a film. Rather than just finishing off the story, it's like a whole new adventure all of its own. I'm very excited about it.
bought park
Someone told me a woman bought a dog so she could take it to the same park where I go running, but I'm hoping that's rubbish.
