happiness ourselves purpose
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
both door good ladies left legacy love system
I think both those ladies would really love to have a legacy as they go out the door that they've left the system they've been part of (in good hands) ... ,
life specific
I think that when you write for stars, I think that you have to be very specific about what they do beautifully and let them bring it to life.
absolutely bit fine learnt older people playing quite relaxed roles shake younger
I'm starting to shake it off, I am quite self-conscious, and it's only when I'm playing roles that I can escape that. The older I get, the more people tell me it's absolutely fine to be the way you are with all your quirks and nuances, and I wish I'd learnt that younger - I would have relaxed a bit more.
people popular tradition understand work
My work is very popular with performers, and there are theatre people who get what I'm doing and what tradition I'm working in. I'm very grateful to them - they're my people, who understand why I work the way I do.
brief minute performer period sort time
I find I like the spotlight for a very brief period of time... and I sort of need it. But then, the minute that it's done, I have to sort of go hide. So I was never really meant, I think, to be a performer for a living.
anyone artist coming matter point stop time
I feel like the point of being an artist is to have your own voice: to do it the way you would do it and not the way anyone else would do it. If you're a strong enough writer, then that voice is going to come out all the time, and I can't stop it from coming out, no matter what I do.
felt home kept musicals supposed wanting
I did musicals in high school, certainly. And then I just kept wanting to do them. I felt at home in the theater, in that way that, you know, you're supposed to if that's the kind of person you are.
behind concert costumes direct honest prefer
I don't want costumes and makeup between me and the audience - I want more direct communication. There's something for me about being honest on stage, and I'm at my most honest when I'm behind a piano. So I prefer my concert performances.
people
I write about outsiders. I write about people who are outside and don't know quite how to get in because it's how I've always felt.
What I always wanted to do was to be a rock star.
africa experience extreme half lots months mud south sword work
We filmed 'Labyrinth' in South Africa for two and a half months and it was just the most unbelievable experience. Lots of sword fighting, mud in hair and lots of weeping! It's very different from 'Downton' because I was going to work and having mud put in my hair - it's the other extreme of the look!
period
You don't automatically assume everyone will fall for a period drama.

You see, the poverty program for the last five years have been buy-off programs.
