home liverpool
Liverpool will always be my home.
art thinking genius
I'm a massive fan of Brit Art in general and Damien Hirst in particular. I think he's an absolute genius and should be celebrated in every way.
challenges acting telling-stories
I love telling stories. I like the challenges presented to me on a daily basis. There's nothing resting about acting.
thinking surprise goodness
I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.
people want theater
You want people to identify with the person on the screen or in the theater, but you don't want them to identify with you as a person.
squares house savannah
Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.
panic projects starting
I'm no good at down-time. I panic slightly and then plan a project or set up a meeting about starting a project.
real heart creative
I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.
want
It's always good to find out what you don't want to do.
wise cities brave
Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticised anyone for taking a chance.
disappointment rejection actors
When you are an actor, rejection and disappointment are an occupational hazard.
character evil people
Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.
planning chill daydreaming
Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming.
acting casting taught
I've moved into directing as well as acting, and it has taught me never to take casting personally.
