This much I know: Catherine Byrne, actor

I’ve always done what I wanted to do. I’ve just been very lucky. My husband John is the more patient and nicer person.

I’m very impatient. Luckily, my husband and sons are very tolerant people.

Unless you feel you are going to die if you don’t act, don’t act. I think it’s a vocation. You’re put down, you’re criticised and competing all the time. Even if you get good reviews, the one bad review will be the one you remember.
