As much as the mystery element is all a lot of fun when you do go to 'Edwin Drood ' you're going to a theatre to see a show about going to a theatre and what that relationship between actors and audiences has been for years.

I was supposed to have a relationship with Judy but that never happened. Actors in series didn't have the control that they have today over their jobs.

It's developing a relationship with actors that makes it work.

Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance.

I wouldn't date an actress. There's only room for one actor in my life and I'm it. Too difficult. On the one hand they understand the job. But on the other hand it's very competitive within the relationship. Two actors say one becomes a mega-star and the other doesn't.

Oh the relationship with actors and managers and agents and things is a terrible problem sometimes.

One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.

I've discovered just how symbiotic the relationship is between writers directors and actors. They ask the same questions and strip down texts in exactly the same way.

When you think about it we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone touching someone doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross.

I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs unless they're extremely well informed.
