We've been trained since kindergarten: Be nice, be kind, share, put on a smile. So we're conditioned to squash our natural selfish instincts, and that's the right thing for society.

I enjoy storytelling. I like to write it, I like to direct it, I like to act in it, I like to produce it. I like to be around storytellers. That's what excites me.
Bryan Cranston
Image
I want to be done, and actually, go I had a good run. No regrets. I'm ready to step aside.

The only thing that we as actors really can control is to be able to say 'yes' or 'no' to the material.

Actors, writers, directors - that triumvirate of creativity - we have to rely and trust each other to be able to get to the final product.

Good storytelling doesn't have to be in the form of the classics. It doesn't have to be revered by everybody. In fact, to me, the best storytelling is not universally loved by every single person. I think you can water down the ethicacy of the work, itself.

It's up to the actor to make sure they don't get typecast.

Something's happened in our society which I don't think is beneficial, and that's that you see the public being fed box-office news. Newscasts now, every local station - I've been traveling around the country a lot, and you see the local news, and they give box-office reports.

Luck is a component that a lot of people in the arts sometimes fail to recognise: that you can have talent, perseverance, patience, but without luck you will not have a successful career.

Let me demonstrate. When you greet a friend this is the duration of the kiss that's acceptable. Hi, good to see you - yeah. When you make a mistake and stay too long at the lips, this is how long it is. Hi, how are you? Good to see you. And that's what happened. It was like, Uh-oh, what was that? Oh.

Actors basically are the type of person that with three seconds left, we want the ball. Give us the shot to make it or miss it. We'll take the lumps if we miss it, but we want the chance to get the glory.

In order to be an actor you really have to be one of those types of people who are risk-takers and have what is considered an actor's arrogance, which is not to say an arrogance in your personal life. But you have to be the type of person who wants the ball with seconds left in the game.

In fact, I told our dear friends, the Burrell boys, five boys lived next door to us. Why, we don't see your dad anymore? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He - I lied. I said, He comes home at night when you guys are in bed. He gets us up and we play. I said it so much that I started to believe it myself, you know?

Given the right set of circumstances any one of us could become dangerous - so why not show that in our programmes?
