"I started acting because I was miserable and crazy and wanted to be someone else, to run around and scream in front of people without getting in trouble."

Being in front of an audience makes me feel alive. Being with friends makes me feel alive. I’ve done some crazy stuff in my time and yet I can feel infinitely alive curled up on a sofa reading a book. So, what makes me feel alive? I guess it’s realizing I am part of the world around me.
