25 Quotes by Michael Socha

I suppose, back in the day, when I was on the stage, I had nothing to lose, and I did the accents.

I like to go for auditions. I enjoy that aspect of this job until I actually need a job, and then that becomes a problem. The worst thing is to build yourself up for a role and not get it, so now I'm just taking every day as it comes and trying not to rely on anything.

I don't want to be doing a job where I'm not doing a job, just sitting around in my flat just bored.

If I wanted to do something on stage, I wanted it to be something I could really get into and feel.

It's fun finding your way to the performance instead of coming in and hoping to God you're impressing the director - and hoping you're delivering the lines right with no treatment beforehand.

Sometimes I'm on a TV set, and I can't feel what I'm supposed to feel as that character because I've not worked my way up to that point. I think there's a bit more insecurity on a set - you've got to blag it, or you've got to do what you've been paid a lot of money to do in a very short space of time.

When I first started acting, I never thought I'd be on TV or film. I always wanted to be on stage.
