His directorial debut: Acting and directing in Coriolanus was a mad and ambitious risk. I went into it knowing it could go very wrong as he is one of the lesser known Shakespeare characters but it spoke to me.
Work: Every actor should be trying to work and be challenged. Keep the hunger going.
Actors: Peter O’Toole is extraordinary on stage. I love watching Mark Rylance and Fiona Shaw – people who really take risks.
Choosing projects: Good writing is a very important factor.
American screen actors: Kevin Spacey is completely economic and understated. He is thrilling.
The Tempest: It’s a company we steady each other.
his inspiration: My imagination has to be excited.
The secret to great acting? Learning a line… in detail!
Film: I like the immediacy of film.
The magic of performance: Some nights it clicks and some nights it doesn’t, but no one knows why. Even though we all try as hard.
Parts he would like to play: I’d love to play Macbeth or Iago. I’m a bit nervous about the comedies as I’m a total tragedy junkie!
The original Rose Theatre: It should be preserved as a site of extreme archaeological importance.
Acting for film. I now know how much of the performance is made in the editing room.
