entertainment good people reaches room
I'm not a snob... there's room for entertainment that reaches a lot of people and can be really good, but you don't just have to be one kind of actor.
dad died disabled envelope home push
Because my dad died when I was young, and I have a severely disabled sister, I couldn't really push the envelope at home.
bothered nights people reasonably
I'm not that bothered about press nights as an actor or, particularly, by what people say about me, because I see myself as a reasonably small cog.
If you're working in theatre, you have all your days to spend with your children.
antsy goes trying
I get antsy if a year goes by without doing a play. I don't go to the gym, so this is my way of trying to live longer.
love music people
I love music, and I once thought about doing a choral scholarship, but the people put me off.
basically democratic however kid might society
However democratic and egalitarian we kid ourselves into thinking society might be, I think that sense of entitlement operates as basically and viciously as it always did.
hamlet quickly realised seen
I'd not really ever expected to play anything like 'Hamlet.' I hadn't seen myself as a natural Hamlet, whatever a natural Hamlet is, and I quickly realised there is no such thing.

It's quite easy for schisms to develop in societies, in villages, cities or countries.

The nice thing about doing a weekly record is you're rehearsing all week and working on getting the script better. Come Friday, when it's time to actually film it, you feel like you've done most of the work!
becomes common easier life nice share surround
The more rarefied a life you live, the easier it is to think that those who don't share it could be demonised. To find the common humanity becomes more of a struggle the more you surround yourself with nice things.
actual age caught felt looks truth until
The truth is that from the age of 14, I felt about 40, and for that reason, I felt that I would never succeed as an actor until my looks caught up with my actual age.
age five life lose matter
If you lose a parent, no matter at what age, every five or 10 years you have a different way of missing them and a different way of getting on with your life.
attitude entire gallery great love painting time
If you look at a painting that you love by one of the great masters, every time you go back to it, you see something different - a different attitude or brushstroke. 'Hamlet' is like an entire gallery of old masters.
