I'm very down-to-earth. I think I'm still 'street'.

I had to prove myself to a lot of different people.

The chance to be both artistically appreciated and commercially appreciated... That's what you hope for.

The basic law of capitalism is you or I, not both you and I.

More young people need to come to the theatre in general.

I don't work for money any longer. I work for pride.
