When I started acting, it was really the way for me to be able to communicate.

I've been fortunate that I can be selective enough to do acting when it's really furthering what I want to do with my life.

I write, but I also act.

I've had some success at writing and directing, and I like it. It's infinitely more creative than just acting, and I have things I want to say and do.

Lots of things are hard work, but I think writing, for me, after I started acting at 13 years old. I like writing now much more than I do acting only because, well, partly because the scripts that are offered are junk.

When my second child was born, I gave up acting - two young children out on the road was too difficult to manage. I'd always written, but began to do so with real commitment now that it was my only creative outlet. I used all my acting techniques to do it. I still do.

One of the benefits for me of starting late in this business is I realised that if acting was the only thing I could do, I would struggle, so I always wrote as well.

Acting is just something I always knew I wanted to do - acting and writing.

I got a chance to act, and I have to say that acting is extremely fun and vital.
