I like working on stage because there's something very immediate about it, that interaction with an audience where you immediately hear their reaction, or feel them, whether they're with you.

Location work has its charms, and can seem glamorous on the outside, but I think living at home and having the stability of a home life once you've finished work is very underrated!

Life is the jailer of the soul in this filthy prison, and its only deliverer is death.

The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.

Don't be afraid. Don't be daunted. Just do your job. Continue to show up for your piece of it, whatever that might be.
