I went to study English for two reasons. Principally because when I was in university, studying drama wasn't considered an option. You couldn't get a degree course for it. And so many plays and things that I was interested in landed themselves in a broader spectrum of literature.

I was in the school plays, I did a lot of music. I carried on through university for short films and loads of plays.

I had done plays in high school. It was something I always wanted to do since I was little. I was a drama major at UC-Irvine.

I took an acting class at Cerritos Junior College and I did a handful of plays, maybe five or six plays.

I was an English major in college, and then I went to graduate school in English at the University of North Carolina for three years.

Since I got out of grad school at NYU, I've always done as many plays as I can.

I was never particularly academic, so it was no great surprise when I failed my 11-plus and consequently went to Wibsey Secondary Modern. I did all right in English, history and music, which were the subjects that most interested me.

I did some plays in high school which I had a good time doing.

I was an English major in college!

I was an English major at UCLA when I was 18, and then I left after a year to start acting. I was educating myself during that time.
