The Old Vic has always been first and foremost an actors' theatre, a home for great talent and memorable performances.

There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.

I?m pulling talent from more than one theatre, which is really neat. Three theatres are represented in this show. It?s very exciting.

I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.

There are lots of people who haven't been to drama school who have great talent and can be discovered.

I realized early on I was not an actor. And it was a great thing to have that realization. To see actors and see what that talent is... it wasn't me.
