“Even though momentarily I thought about being a doctor, I was always i...” — Elliot Cowan Quote

Even though momentarily I thought about being a doctor, I was always involved in theatre and did a drama degree. I just didn't have the guts to go, 'Yes, I'm going to be an actor,' until I was probably 21.

I'm still very much about being an actor. That's why I'm not married with kids.

I didn't want to get into acting just to play bystanders. I feel a bystander enough in my own life. And I do think that theatre can contribute to a certain analysis and commentary on our own world.

I've done some bits of shockingly bad TV that have never been shown, or at least I hope they've never been shown... Please don't dig them out!

I hate flying, flat out hate its guts.

If I am to choose two words that best describes myself, they are 'self-esteem' and 'guts.' Guts helped me become a global model.

I like guts in my leaders.

It was important to score points today and I went for them with my guts.

I like to write with people I have a relationship with; otherwise it's kind of scary, and you hold back because you don't want to pour your guts out to someone you never met.
