For me the rehearsal period is the part I most enjoy. It's the creating of the story.

L.A. still ranks as one of my guilty pleasures, along with butter-pecan ice cream and Coldplay albums.

Dramatically it's always more interesting to conceal rather than reveal things.

If you only do issue-based drama, you can become a boring wanker.
