Equus Quotes

(About the "Equus" paparazzi): They were outside the theatre every single night, but we came up with a cunning ruse. I would wear the same outfit every time - a different T-shirt underneath, but I`d wear the same jacket and zip it up so they couldn`t see what I was wearing underneath, and the same hat. So they could take pictures for six months, but it would look like the same day, so they (photos) became unpublishable. Which was hilarious, because there`s nothing better than seeing paparazzi getting really frustrated.

The first job I ever did was Equus on stage, as the boy, and I was 17, and we opened the show with me naked in the spotlight being examined by doctors. That was my entrance to the stage, so anything after that was easy. Also, for some reason, nudity was never shameful, it was never brought up in my household when I was a kid, there was no `dirty, dirty sex`. It`s not like we all ran around naked in some horrid 70s nightmare, it just was never an issue, and because it was never an issue I`ve never been embarrassed, I guess.
