As for acting, I took drama lessons when I was in high school.

Drama school, you know, I own an acting school, Actor Prepares.

I'm a bit of a fraud, really, as I didn't study acting at a drama school.

I only ever wanted to be a model. This acting thing - three years of drama school - is an accident!

I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.

From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.

I've - to be honest with you, I've never had an acting lesson. But I've been at drama school for 50 years.

Drama school is fundamentally practical. I didn't write any essays, so I came out with a BA honors degree in acting.

I did drama at school, as a kid, but I ain't been to, like, acting school or anything. I was in a couple of school plays.

I think I was about 18 before I decided I wanted to pursue acting. I went to drama school in Western Australia when I was 19.

You don't learn acting, you nourish it. I don't regret not going to drama school because I was very afraid of all the lessons. I'm allergic to technicality.

I wasn't one of the ones voted most likely to succeed when I was at drama school, but I persevered and concentrated on the acting rather than going to the right parties and getting the right agent. Eventually, after ten years, it paid off.

I've only auditioned for one non-culturally specific role. I went through drama school and studied classic texts and played lead roles in 'Measure for Measure' and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' alongside a very culturally diverse group of acting students. But as soon as we graduate and enter the industry, all of those roles fall away.
