In the beginning of my career, all I did was drama, and I couldn't get arrested doing comedy; nobody would hire me!
I've always got into stunts; even at drama school, I was falling down trap doors, and swinging in on ropes.
It is expensive to give plays subtitles, especially for a short run, so most new dramas rarely cross the transcontinental bridge.
Opera is credible drama now, and it costs less than going to a football match. What have you got to lose?
I like to do comedy, but I'll be perfectly honest, I prefer to do drama and more character-driven-based stuff, generally.
I remember watching 'The Wire,' because I absolutely adored 'The Wire,' and there were so many secret layers within that drama, and it was just fantastic.
When I was younger and studying acting, I never ever saw myself in the sitcom world; it was drama that really turned me on and still does.
I was at university and I was studying modern drama and studying English, and I just was like, 'I don't wanna be in this place. I wanna be acting.'
I have been out of drama school for 13 years, so there are 13 years' worth of graduates behind me.
I was in the drama club, and I was one of seven co-presidents of the student body. Students elected me - I don't know why!
I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it's drama, it's the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.
I didn't go to drama school, so I feel like I did all my growing up on 'Hollyoaks.'
I'm not a drama person, but when you can make a movie in song form in three-and-a-half minutes, it's surreal.
As far as dramas are concerned, it's considered passe for playwrights to turn out anything the average person can understand.
Sometimes it can be bad to have too much family. Everybody gets involved in your problems, giving their opinion, gossiping, and making drama. But when bad things happen, they will be there to support you.
I was the suburban kid of Scottish parents, and the idea of an acting career was so beyond my experience. I didn't even know there were drama schools until a friend told me.
When I started drama school, theatre was the main draw. I never had any movie star notions. Not that there were family ties to the theatre, either.
To my family and friends, I'm very definitely a clown. But do you know what? Doing a drama would almost seem easy because I wouldn't need to find that gag in a line.
Movie studios aren't making too many dramas anymore; they're in the superhero business. Material for television is much, much stronger for actors now.
I was pre-med, so I was going to go into the family business, more or less. But I came to my senses, luckily, and backed out, and decided to go to drama school.
Comedy's my first love. I love that so much. You play comedy in drama, too. The difference between genres doesn't really change the method of acting.
