When I was offered the part in ShakespeareIn Love a voice in my head said 'not another tights role!
Yes, in a way. Film is a by-product of my love of theatre. Theatre is for me the greater challenge. In many ways it requires more skill.
I love life. I'm fascinated by human behavior because that feeds back into my work.
