Quotes

  • Acting gives me sleepless nights, pimples, rashes, anxiety. But also a deep satisfaction somehow. It makes you feel more...human. It's a way of making a connection, I guess.
  • Your kids can be cruel. Jack was sitting at the table and he turns around and asks me, 'Dad, don't you think you've done a bit of over-acting in your time?'
