I don't want my work to be heavy. The challenge is to make it interesting and engaging, keeping in mind the need for method acting. This is what I have learnt from Bharat Muni's 'Natya Shastra' and from the Russian theatre legend Stanislavsky.
It is not hard work that is dreary; it is superficial work.
I try to pick interesting projects, the kind of projects that I would want to watch.
It's true that if you love what you do, it rarely feels like work.
That's the kind of work I like to do: challenging work that has a message.
I can assure you, public service is a stimulating, proud and lively enterprise. It is not just a way of life, it is a way to live fully.
Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
The constant variety is the most interesting part of my job.
To be a part of a show that makes that not feel demanding and makes it feel natural and makes you want to go to work, every day, and be excited about it, from what I hear, that's pretty rare.
