I thought the best route to being the great actor I wanted to be was to play the great classical parts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always wanted to be a great actor.
I wanted to be Laurence Olivier, basically, to be a great classical actor, and also be able to do modern things.
The talent that I was blessed with was really for the theater.
I enjoyed playing the dual role of an actor and producer.
I just wanted to be one of those actors who works at the National Theatre the whole time.
I had this exceptional classical music voice. If I'd followed a true path for my talent, I would have ended up being an opera singer.
One of the things I enjoyed the most is just working as an actor.
Musical theatre is something that I always wanted to be a part of, and my first ever role on the West End as Joseph in 'Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat' gave me a taste for it.
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.
When I first became an actress, I expected to do regional and classical theater; I just love the whole creative process.
