I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.

I think behind closed doors people behave differently no matter what period we're looking at, because people have to stand up straight in public but can slouch behind closed doors - can you imagine wearing those corsets?

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

I always think 12 times before saying anything.

Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think thats because we were trained - until now - in theatre.

Before every performance, I think I am about to keel over.
