Seeing a new play in a first-time production is so exciting - when it's good, you want to shout from the rooftops.

A lot of children remember seeing cartoons, 'Pinocchio' or 'Bambi' or something that breaks their heart. I remember seeing 'The Blue Angel' and it breaking my heart. It was the first time I realised there was an adult world - that adults could damage each other or destroy each other emotionally.

Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective.

I don't know if you've got something to shout about, but we've got something to shout about. What you're seeing on the news is nothing compared to what is happening in our city. Keep praying for the city of New Orleans and keep praying for the people of New Orleans.

I feel the art world in New York has a stronger following than Britain. If you go to a New York art district on a Saturday morning, it will be so busy with families and openings - art is much more ingrained in the culture.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.
