Neve McIntosh: (on acting) One of my tutors actually asked me, 'Are you doing this because you need therapy?' I'm sure a lot of people go into this profession to expunge their demons or turn negative experiences to positive benefit, and I'm not denying I wasn't one of them.
Neve McIntosh: At drama school, you're warned that at any one time ninety per cent of actors don't have jobs. I've been behind the counter in a dole office when other out-of-work actors have come through the door, so I know how bad the situation is. But for the past six years I've been one of the ten per cent.(interview, March 2004)
