| Quotes: |
Acting is the career I've wanted, no matter what other work I might be doing. My biggest problem is my own lack of strategic planning, and doing things on impulse - like going off busking in the south of France, instead of staying in London to capitalize on acting roles after the success of Rocky Horror.

Darling, my life is glamorous whether at home or the theater.

Darling, it's my Broadway debut and I'm on top of the world. Imagine a Broadway debut and with Antonio Banderas. Does it get any better than that? I think not, treasure. I think not. |
