For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors.

Music has always been my passion for as long as I can remember.

When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.

I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.

I have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.

The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.
