If it seems like you're doing work when you're acting, then you're doing something wrong.

What is a struggle is that acting isn't a place where you go to work and you do that thing. There aren't set boundaries, like an office, where you go and work. For me, the work is always on my mind.

Every time you work is a challenge. There's a constant worry about it, and it's a side of acting I don't like.

Acting can be a great job, but you do have to make up things to do when you're not working.

Acting can be so much fun that it's easy to forget that what you're doing is a job. But if I've got my tie on, I'm going to work.

Acting is the way I make my living.

Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.

In terms of work, obviously acting is such a job that is very in the flesh kind of thing. It's your work, but it's your life, in a way. You can get so mixed up.

For me, acting is like a holiday. When you're directing, you have a strong sense of responsibility for others. It's exciting but exhausting, especially when you're like me: always wanting to break the rules.
