wall artist sitting
If I could have any artist's work on my sitting room wall it would probably be by Van Gogh or Picasso.
brother wall garden
In the garden of our house, when I was three. My brothers and I had a jumping wall. I remember it as enormously high, but it was probably only about a foot and a half.
antithesis
Everything contains its antithesis.
musician actors able
I wouldn't even begin to presume that the talent of an able actor is anything like the talents of a prodigious musician.
one-thing
I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change.
two clothes looks
I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.
father army years
I grew up all over the world. My father was in the army and was posted to a new place every two and a half years. I have no geographical roots.
children world bears
Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.
careers age looks
There's still a massive inequality between the genders. If you look at the trajectory of a male actor's career, there's no hesitation or hiatus. But women after the age of 35 to 40 are rarely placed in the centre of the story.
perfection hollywood youth
I'm hardly Hollywood material - they're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.
thinking things-in-life alive
I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.
theatre together stories
In our own, theatre can be the place where we come together, reaching with and through stories, to who we are and to who we can be.
essentials rich feels
I'd rather be useful than rich. It's more essential to feel you're doing something that's worth doing, rather than making a lot of money.
jobs people description
I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.
