I Spent A Lot Of My Youth

My Education Began In Theater School, And It Continues To This Day. I Just Continued Learning To Be A Better Performer.

When I [first] Went To University, I Was Doing Foreign Languages, Because I Had Done Them Since I Was 13 Years Old. I Had Done French And German. I Picked Up Italian, Just Sort Of Blasted Through The Exams, [and Then] Took Off Overseas, Because I Wanted To Be An Actor. I Thought, "i'm Just Not Academic." I'm Not Very Competitive, In Terms Of Acting. But Since Going Back To University, I've Realized, I Am Highly Competitive.

I Think The Whole Thing Is Kind Of Sad, Honestly, In The Same Way That Our Civilization - Particularly The Consumers Of Pop Culture - Has Grown So Used To An Emasculated, Bare-chested Leading Man That Something Like Simply Growing A Mustache Can Impress People.

Of Course Smartphones Are Brilliant Inventions, But The Nefarious Thing About Twitter And Other Social Media Is That It Starts To Fill All The Gaps In Your Day. I Quickly Become An Addict.

Only When You Get Into Tv And Film, Do People Really Want You To Be A 'specialist'.
