I think the challenge for an actor is always to see which parts of you you can explore and go have fun with.

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.

Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.

If I had had to struggle at the beginning like most actors... I'd never have stuck it out. But having such complete success at the beginning, I was stuck with being an actor for life.

It's a long struggle being an actor; I don't know if I'd ever recommend it to anybody!

I like to jump into different worlds. I'm attracted to the emotional rollercoaster of acting. Now I've been doing it for so many years, I must rather enjoy it.

I've done a lot of dramas, and I've done a lot of serious stuff - some really heavy stuff... which I loved, but I wanted to do something light and airy. I think the challenge for an actor is always to see which parts of you you can explore and go have fun with.

I don't sit around with other actors and talk about the pain and the magic of acting.

I prefer to have longevity. I like as great a variety as possible, hopefully to avoid getting stuck in one kind of character, having to do it over and over again. I seek to challenge myself as an actor - and at the same time support my family.

Acting is a whole boatload of fun, but I prefer to do it on my own terms.
