Each of my Shakespeare pieces is different to the other, but each espouses a set of philosophies common to all my theatre work.

Theatre critics have no special access to the truth. And there should be no objective truth to art.

Malvolio' is the one show of mine that will not die. I've performed it more than 200 times all over the place.

Art is a subjective thing, and it should be a subjective thing. And the difficulty of subjectivity is that it becomes hugely problematized when you start applying large sums of money to art objects. That's where it all starts to get a bit sticky.

Fools act on imagination without knowledge, pedants act on knowledge without imagination.

A film album has these big stars - like a Shah Rukh Khan or a Salman Khan. Independent music videos don't have that luxury, and you cannot feature big stars in all the songs of your album.

I consider myself very fortunate indeed to have created a character which has captured the imagination and enthusiasm of so many children worldwide. They are my family, and Spot belongs to them all.

It's a shame how a lot of actors use theater as a stepping stone to film and television work; I think it shouldn't be treated that way. Maybe it's narcissism or something. I think we should always go back to it. I try and do a play a year, and I think that's really helped me.
