When I started out I was a failed actor.

I really was a terrible actor. I did it for years in my twenties because it was like being at university again.

I had been nine years in the theatre and hadn't had massive success. My only thing was I wanted to be an actor and I didn't care when, where, or how much for.

I was a failed actor but I still wanted to show off, so I ended up doing live comedy.

I never wanted to be an actor. I got stuck in it and kind of liked what I was doing.

I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.

I think the periods of being unsuccessful have made me a better actor.

I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.

I think the hardest thing about being an actor is between jobs when you don't know and wondering if you'll ever work again. It's kind of a crazy business.

I didn't ever think about being an actor. But I fell in love with it when I realized how amazing, difficult, and interesting it is.
