"In my early career I was like a goldfish. Rejection didn't affect me; I'd just forget how bad it was and keep going back for more."
"You have to play the logic of a character."
"It's a whole different kind of anxiety. But the great thing about doing a theatre job is that once the ball starts rolling you just have to go with it, it's inexorable."
