To maintain one’s individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.
If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.
I love the theatre and theatre people.
In my younger years my dedication may have expressed itself egotistically.
I was rather a fat little boy.
Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.

Theatre has no national identity. It is something for the world, whether it is Irish, English, or French.

Acting is the most brotherly and sisterly profession in the world.
The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.
