Zitat des Tages von Christian McKay:
Originally I studied as a musician, a classical pianist. That was my career before I took up acting in my late 20s.
Film is limitless, but some stage presentations on film can look too theatrical.
I always wanted to be an independent maverick, writing plays and putting them on myself.
Now I have an agent, a manager, a lawyer, a publicist, all the king's horses and all the king's men.
I was always jealous of my violinist friends and cellist friends who traveled with their instruments.
Do I have any potential as an actor? I don't know. I'm still wondering. But acting has kind of taken over.
I was at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where I thought, in my naivete, I'd stay for the rest of my career. I'd thought I'd work up through the ranks and go from spear carrier - or in my case, the eunuch, which was several rungs below the spear carrier - to King Lear.
People say to me now, 'Oh, you've given up the piano.' How can you? Music is a virus.
