I never thought acting would be my life. I only started doing it because I needed something to occupy my weekends after I dislocated my knee and couldn't play sport.

I originally envisioned myself doing something with the suffix 'ology' at the end of it, like marine biology or entomology. But after I started to do some acting gigs, I thought it wasn't a bad thing... I said to myself, 'I might as well keep riding this bus until the wheels fall off.'

I want to be able to have a conversation with people. I don't want to be stupid. I'd like to have a life outside acting.

I've never been a really big fan of theatre. I don't know why. It's so much for effort. It's much more difficult for me than stage acting just because of the pressure that's piled on you and you have to learn the entire performance by heart.

As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.

I started studying at 26. Before that, I never thought of acting as something that I would ever try.
