“It’s a very weird thing with acting, where you come back to your dressing room and say, ‘God! I was so great tonight!’. And somebody will come round and say, ‘What were you doing? You were so awful’. Another time you’ll come back and think, ‘God! I couldn’t do it’. But somebody will come up and say, ‘What a wonderful performance’. So you don’t always know, but you long for that muse of inspiration to settle on you.”
