I've Been Onstage Once For

Any Scene That Involves Stripping Off Is Hell. You Just Know It's Going To Take A Day Or More To Get It Right. It Never Gets Any Better And It's Always Uncomfortable, And All You Can Do Is Grin And Bare It. I Just Pray It's Never Gratuitous And That It Doesn't Look So Fake That All You Hear In The Audience Is, 'well, That's Not Really Her, Is It?'

It's Really Important To Draw The Line On What We Do As Actors.

When I'm Working, It's Those Actors (you Know Who You Are) Who Sit Around Moaning That Their Trailer Isn't Big Enough, Or How Bad Their Facilities Are. I Can't Be Doing With Any Of That, I Just Like To Get On With It.

Well Ironically My Last Three Roles Have All Been A Mother. One Was A Canadian Film Where The Baby Was Taken Away Because She Is A Drug Addict, In Irish Jam I Play A Mother To A Four Year Old. I Think In The Future I'll Be Able To Handle The Role With A Lot More Depth.

But Americans Find Me Bizarre And Always Ask Me Why I Eat So Many Carbs. I Tell Them I Don't Get Full Otherwise.
