It's usually very, very hard for me to pick up a script that was written and try and see myself as a part of that, especially when you're used to performing all your own material. It's OK with drama, I like being handed great material but I think with comedy it's far more personal and probably a lot harder for me to find a fit.

It's got to be a challenge but at the same time you have to feel as though you can play them - it's really dangerous to want to be a part of something just because you think it's going to be great. I've been sent plenty of scripts where I've known that it's going to be a great film and a successful one, but I just couldn't convince myself that I was the right person for the part. So, I think you have to be careful with that.

You have to be proactive about your destiny and then realize that the other half of it is completely out of your control. I think it's fascinating.

I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.

I think love can come fairly easily and grow - but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you're in pretty good shape.

I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.

I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.

I think there are times when you walk onto a set you can potentially be either intimidated or distracted by what's going on around you.

I love working with people who have had television experience because I think there's a real efficiency and methodology that comes from that background.
