I haven't had time to take any other work. Once this convention is over, I'm pretty much a free agent and I'm sure that's when it will all hit home that I'm truly unemployed.

One of the difficulties of not knowing for so long whether we were doing a fifth season or not was that we weren't really allowed to go out shopping for work. [That was] because we couldn't be counted on to turn up for work if Farscape kept going, so there may be a large gap. I don't know long it will be and that may be enforced by the fact that I'm having to really take care over what projects I choose. It may just be that, you know, nothing comes up and, as we say in the trade, I'm resting.

People told me, when I was coming through the ranks, that a mark of a great actor is one who deals with the period of unemployment as well as they deal with the period of employment. Well, I'll have to work on that! I do need a break - we really worked so hard on Farscape that I will enjoy having a break.

I feel that I'm at my best as a person and that I'm coming home when I walk on to a set, or on to a stage, so if I can perform in one way or another I think I'll be okay.
