I Don't Even Own A Car.

You Tell Yourself That You're Not Auditioning But Of Course You Work Like Crazy, And You Prepare Like Mad. And You Think, "well, I Won't Get That Job. But Maybe They'll Have Another Job Sometime, And They'll Remember That I Was Good."

I Used To Joke That One Of The Reasons There Was A Lack Of Classical Work On My Cv Was Because I Couldn't Operate In Those Kinds Of Trousers. Which Is A Joke, But It's Actually Also True - If I Want To Appear In Public I Want To Look My Best. If I'm Onstage I Like To Do Contemporary Work, Largely Because Of The Trousers, Because Of The Clothes. I Like A Decent, What We Used To Call A Lounge Suit. Then I Can Start To Motor.

I Used To Think That Prizes Were Damaging And Divisive, Until I Got One, And Now They Seem Sort Of Meaningful And Important.
