When I was a kid, it was a little bit exciting working with Peter Weir and Robin Williams, but that faded pretty quickly for me.

There are a few roles I want to play, but mostly I just want to keep doing a play every now and then, watch kids grow and eat cookies and drink tea.

As a kid, the theatre always felt a bit like running away to join the circus.

My wife and I are really strange people. We never spend any money.

If you don't wake up and have your own thing, whether it's writing or reading or traveling or acting or dancing or singing or being a mother or a father, something that drives you, then it's all worth nothing. One of the key elements in happiness is purpose.

For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.

When you've done the technical part, you're then into the joy, the zen, into being. Technology no longer exists for you. You're then into the mystery of the thing you're doing.

Part of the reason I joined Joy Division was so that I really wouldn't have to grow up.
