- Q:
You
have worked in both theatre and film which
do you prefer and if you could have any role
what would it be? (Janet, London)
I love both mediums for different reasons. The ideal would be to alternate between the two as they complement each other. I don’t have any particular role in mind ; I think they come to you when you’re ready for them or when the time is right.
- Q:
What
style is your home decorated in and do you
decorate it yourself? (Sue, Doncaster)
At the moment, it rather is Ikea furniture, but I plan to be more demanding than that in the future. I quite like antiques or modern styles, I would love to spend more time to think about interior design.

You
told us on Sunday evening, that for the last
Les Mis show, the cast blindfolded you at
the barricades scene, but you never mentioned
anything about the antics you got up to at
the end. What were you wearing, or not wearing
(as the case may have been), and did you have
something written on your chest? (Jan, Wales)
Sorry, won’t tell.
- Q:
My
question kind of refers to acting in particular...
I just had an audition today for the school
play of Wizard of Oz...and I had to sing,
act, and dance all under a minute! I was totally
not satisfied with my performance, my singing
did not reflect what I really wanted and i
was sad to not have had the opportunity to
express myself into the character... My question
is: In these types of situations especially
in a large audience what would be your advice
to become more like the character and control
your singing ability? Have u ever felt disatisfied
with a character that u thought could have
been shaped better? (Kuka, san diego, USA)
Of course, always ; not only during the rehearsal process, but even in performance because we’re not machines and sometimes it’s really hard to keep at level. But that is the best challenge to always try to better yourself and improve what you do on a stage.

- Q:
Have
you ever planned to be in Mexico? :(or at
least Broadway? (please...Europe is to far
for me although I don´t mind going as

City, Mexico)
If the US and Mexico want me to be there, I can assure you that I will.

What's
it like to play Javert? (Gail, USA)
Javert is a fascinating character ; a misguided closed-off man who’s totally missing out on what he is really about. I find him very moving. Very moving...

With
neither of your parents being in your chosen
profession, who would you say helped influence
or inspire you, in your decision to pursue
a career in acting? (Jan, Rural Wales)
Nobody really ; I would say that my mother wasn’t against it, but the decision was totally mine. That’s what I wanted and had to do. There wasn’t any doubt. I was helped later on by my teachers to keep faith in that choice when my career wasn’t going anywhere, and I have to acknowledge people like John Strasberg and Sarah Eigerman.
