[Many children follow their parents into the theatre. Hilary Bell is a playwright, while Lucy is an actor. Sacha Horler (daughter of Ken and Lillian Horler, co-founders of the Nimrod), Felix Williamson (son of David), Tamsin Carroll (daughter of Peter), Jason Donovan (son of Terence) and Robyn Nevin's daughter, Emily Dawe, have all gone onto the stage and screen. So it's not really surprising that Miranda did the same. What child would not be beguiled by a world of make-believe?] There's something about it, the whole life of it, that you really enjoy, ... I just used to find it so exciting. |
I'm glad I didn't [have children] when I was younger because I don't think I could have given so much of myself to it, ... I think I would have been more selfish. I'm really glad it's happened to me later. I don't think I could have given up as many things as I can give up now. |
When I did A Doll's House I felt like I learnt so much, ... That's another reason to do this, I wanted to push myself and see what else I could learn from doing it. Because Robyn's an actress as well, I feel like I learn a lot of technique and things from her. |
Yeah, Dad can go and write a script, but if I did something else, I'd produce. |
You've got a shocking temper. |
