It's nice to know that if you've worked really hard at something, it gets recognised with a tick in the success column - however you define that, be it making a bunch of dough, which the actors never see much of, or whether it's a piece that's enlightening or stays with the audience maybe six, seven or even eight or 10 years later.

As a young man I prayed for success. Now I just pray to be worthy of it.

I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.
