The strength of British theatre should be that these actors in their middle years know what they're doing and are good at it. Not rich, not famous, but making a living.

Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.

Work is making a living out of being bored.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

I've always made a clear distinction between making a life and making a living.

It's not easy making a living as a writer, and for many years I worked at a Waterstones in Dublin. It was a good environment for an aspiring writer, with lots of events and authors appearing.
