Acting goes back a little ways for me. I supposed I started with theater growing up. It was mainly a social outlet and it was just kind of something I did for fun. I met a lot of good friends through it, so it really kept me involved.

I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.

I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.

I made theater very important in the beginning of my career.

My acting experience has been a benefit. What I learned from directors is how to listen to and talk with actors. I know how they think and what they need.

I think acting really helps as a director. It's just no question, because you totally understand the acting process.

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.

I took up drama and did so much extracurricular work, like the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall's Saturday school. Acting is where I felt most comfortable and how I wanted to express myself.

I did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.

I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
