I'd Auditioned For The National Youth Theatre

You'd Never Play Hamlet If You Started Worrying About Who's Played It Before You.

I Was Quite A Shy Child. I Would Get Terribly Nervous And Throw Up Before My Birthday Party. And Then I Would Be Fine. I Feel The Same Now. I Get Nervous, Then It's Fine.

It Must Be Odd, Being Recognizable. I Would Hate To Lose That Anonymity.

I Think It Sits Quite Happily With Me, The Condition Of Being An Actor. I See Some People Getting Quite Eaten Up With It, With The Insecurities. There Are Times When I Long For Continuity And Stability, But I Also Love The Idea Of Not Knowing What I'll Be Doing Next - Or Even If I'm Going To Work.
