Be who you like as long as you mean it.

I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.

Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.

I started to itch to do a play again and 'Macbeth' came to the surface in my mind. I never thought I would do it in a conventional way. A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.

In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.

I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.

Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?
