I heat myself up over the fact that I am never going to be as good as I want to be.

To start, I wasn't really interested in acting at all, and I didn't make much impact. The first play I was in was on for five nights and I didn't show up for two of them and nobody noticed. But I stayed because that's where my friends were, and after a while I found myself wanting to inhabit other people's worlds and lives.

Every couple of years - no, that's every couple of weeks - I think I'm going to give up acting.
