The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.

I thought theater people wouldn't see me if I hadn't trained. I didn't want to just be the Brideshead guy, to spend the rest of my life wearing waistcoats. I got the chance to try everything.
