It's really interesting working in television as opposed to the theater, where you know the arc of the character and you are able to create this whole backstory.

Prison makes an interesting context for so many different characters to come together. You get to see what lines get drawn between people.

My working history as an actor is definitely in the theatre; it certainly was in Australia.

It's very interesting to know what people are doing while you're working on late-night television.

What's great in theater is that you can sustain the arc of a character for a full three hours, whereas in film or TV, you have to create that arc in little pieces, and usually out of sequence.

English is really free for me; there's no limits to the music and the imagination. And French, it's just I live in Paris, and it's really a poetic language where you can really play with words.
