acting roles break
Anthony Hopkins says you just keep acting. Do it all the time and eventually it will happen. He got his break, after all, by taking a role nobody else wanted. A cannibal!
moon stills dies
I would still like to go to the moon before I die.
play guy everyday
I would love to play your common, everyday guy, but I never get cast as that.
mind answers minutes
Always have an answer - even if you change your mind five minutes later.
people faults judgmental
I am a very judgmental person. Of myself and other people. I recognise it's a great fault, but I have no power over that.
thinking actors cases
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
criticism kind film
Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.
regret drama father
My father died prematurely at the age of 52 when I was 24, and it is a recurring regret that he never lived to see me succeed beyond university and drama.

I am drawn to writing and directing as it is most like the feeling I had when I was a teenager with my puppet theatre. You are more in control of everything and involved in every aspect of production, so more challenged and fulfilled.
scripts pages ifs
Ensure that your script is watertight. If it's not on the page, it will never magically appear on the screen.
names enormous
Unless you are an enormous name, you never stop auditioning.
lonely shy alone-time
Well, it's true that I've never been solitary, although I spend a lot of time alone. I've never felt lonely or been shy.
