Personal Quote:

I am very grateful for the awards that I have won, but I have never gone into my study, looked at my awards and thought: "Oh, I am a good actor!" Somebody says "Well done!" to you, you think "Great!" and forget it immediately. Somebody gives you an award, it's great because you can find another great job and maybe win another one, but it doesn't stay with me. See more »
