One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else's shoes. And when I look at the roles I've played, I'm kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I've had and the different things I've learned.

I think the reason I'm an actor is the joy I find from escaping and going to be somebody else. That's what I have fun doing.

It's always fun messing around with costumes and stuff. You know there is an element of acting that you've got to dress-up; that's part of it.

The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.

I was shying away from acting for the longest time - because of having such big shoes to fill.

Until I came out, my acting was all about disguise, and thereafter it became about telling the truth.

There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.

I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.

What drew me to acting in the first place was disguise.

That's one of the great things about acting - you get to pretend you're somebody else, which is great if you get bored with yourself.
