"Trying to pursue an acting career in London, made me realise that, at least in the commercial side of the industry, I will never be allowed to play anyone but an East European stereotype, most likely with no words and being OK with nudity."

"The show was written to inspire an honest conversation surrounding mental health (in all its varieties), and also not to glorify it to a level where it diminishes the severity of it all."

"I try hard not to watch too many people I actually like as I dread the thought of just doing what they do. What I prefer to do is watch stuff I don't like and then just do the opposite!"

"Honestly, if someone asked me to describe my show, I think I would come up with a lovely little paragraph."

"When you’re up there it’s such a bubble, having a daily phone call with someone who couldn’t care less about reviews or audience numbers is very grounding. It helps me to keep things in perspective and see the bigger picture."

"Humiliation is good for the soul! And that you are not owed anything in life so you might as well try to have a good time."

"I write from a place of great silence, so I never think about what messages I am trying to get through. If anyone in the audience sees some part of their own life’s experiences reflected, I would consider myself very rich indeed."

"Years ago, I performed a piece about domestic violence with the rest of my cast at 10:10 am for 1 man. We had a house that could fit 80. We gave it to him—didn’t hold back. And he was great. Gave us a standing ovation. I’ll remember him forever."

"I performed staring at a giant portrait of Thatcher. I don’t know if the audience have fully recovered but I still have PTSD."

"There's a very lovely family based in Wisconsin who has on multiple occasions driven through the night to NYC to attend one of our shows, sometimes in costume. We love you, Mitchells!"

"I couldn’t be an artist without my family and partner, they have supported me through thick and thin and believed in my artistic career when I did not."

"On one of the nights we were staying at the hotel there was a ghost tour happening. We tried to join in (and we weren’t allowed) but we found out the whole tour was a set up. I used to watch Most Haunted as a kid and now I feel cheated knowing it’s not real!"
