What I Wear Is A Reflection Of Where I Am Going And How I Am Feeling. If Im In A Good Mood, Its Got To Be Cashmere And Jeans - Just Something Comfy, Soft And Warm. When Im Down, I Might Find Something That I Havent Worn For A While That Was Bought For Me - Or Wear A Brooch Or A Pair Of Shoes That Are Like Old Friends.

The British Have Been More Up For It Than The Americans Were, Particularly With Respect To Nudity In The Show. In Europe There Are Adverts That Show The Breasts, So People Are Less Frightened Of That Aspect Of The Show. Americans Can Withstand Incredible Violence On Tv Shows - Which, As I Come From England And Canada, I Find Difficult To Stomach - But They Are More Puritanical When It Comes To Nudity On Screen.

I Think The Wonderful Thing About Doing Theater Is That It's More Of An Actor's Medium. I Think That Film Is More Of A Director's Medium. You Can't Edit Something Out On Stage. It's There.
