I Wanted My Dad To Be Proud

I Think It's Important That You Always Transform If You Can. That's What I Was Trained To Do. You Try And Hide Yourself As Much As You Can - That's The Key To Longevity.

I Think I Had Only Been Working Nine Months When I Got Star Trek, And It Was Huge. It Was Very Overwhelming. So That Opened My Eyes A Bit At An Early Age, Kind Of How Not Be Frightened When Walking Into A Responsibility Of Something Like Villain In Batman, Or A Hobbit, Or Whatever It Is.

I'm From East Sheen, I Went To Public School Where I Learned Latin At The Age Of Nine, And Certain Expectations Were Made Of Me To Go To St Paul's, Oxbridge Maybe, And All That Kind Of Thing. And I Failed Systematically To Meet The Mark - Who I Am And What I Should Have Been Are Two Very Different Things.

And I Like People. I Like To Know What You're Really Up To. I'm A Bit Of A Nosey Busy Body. Why Do They Do The Things They Do? Why Are They Prepared To Do The Things They Do To Get What They Want? When? Where? Who?

I Hate Publicists And Publicity. But I Love The People.
