When I do things that aren't very good, I'm worse as an actor. I don't know what I pick up - but it's something not very nice.
My life is not nuts. I hardly ever watch television, I don't go out very much, so I don't really know what's going on.
The repetition of the theatre means you've got the time to get deeply inside the person you're playing.
