I Draw And Play The

My First Film, 'like Minds,' Was With Toni Colette, Who Was Extraordinary. I Mean It Was Basically A Mini-masterclass For Acting On Film At A Time When All You Could Probably See Were My Eyebrows Bouncing Up And Down On Screen.

Everything About Filmmaking Is Incredibly Weird, And There's Nothing Natural About Watching Yourself On The Big Screen Or Hearing Your Voice. It's That Same Thing That You Feel When You Watch Yourself On A Video Camera And You Hate The Sound Of Your Voice - It's That Times 800.

A Lot Of People Think Theatre Must Be Much Harder Work Than Film, But Anything Histrionic Or Superfluous Gets Seen On Camera So You Have To Work To Distil It Into A Complete Sense Of What's True.

On So Many Levels, Acting In Film And Tv Is So Much The Sum Of Its Parts, And Somewhere In There, There's An Alchemical Thing That Makes Something Happen Or Not - That Makes Something Connect Or Not. Now, Of Course You Want To Make Work That People See, But The Enjoyment I Get Out Of Acting Is Playing Characters.

This Is The Great Luxury Of Not Working: The Moment You Read A Book That Has Nothing To Do With Work, You Know You're Really Relaxed. And I Have A Sh*t Attention Span. I Can't Concentrate For More Than Five Minutes.
