Be Who You Like As Long As

I've Actually Found - Especially Doing My Cabaret Show - I'm Connecting With People In A Way I Haven't Connected With Them. I've Found That When You're Open And Honest, People Respond To That, Whatever You're Being Open And Honest About. You Could Then, When You Lay That As The Groundwork, Say, "here I Am. This Is What I Think. I Come In Peace." Then You're Able To Push Out, To Be Able To Talk About More Things. And That's Been A Really Heartening Thing About My Life, Actually.

I Actually Find In America, There's A Slight Snobbery About Actors Who Go Back And Forth Between Big Heavy Dramas And Popcorn Fare. That Always Intrigues Me, Because That Doesn't Exist In The Same Way In Britain. And I Imagine It Would Be Worse. In Terms Of The Sort Of Class, And The Sort Of Snobby, Slightly On The Back-foot Thing Britain Has. But It's Much More Prevalent In America. I'm Really Intrigued By It. I Don't Know Why That Is. But I'm Aiming To Break Down Those Barriers By Being In A Shakespeare Film And A Smurfs Film Within Six Months Of Each Other.

When You're On Tv, You Come Into People's Homes. In Theater And Film, They Go To You - To The Temple Of The Cinema Or Theater. And It's Very Different.

It Is Not Hard To Feel Like An Outsider. I Think We Have All Felt Like That At One Time Or Another.

I Like Working On Things That Are Very Different And That Involve Different Disguises.
