Nobody Wants To Hear Metallica At Lunchtime.

I Came To Los Angeles And Did Auditions For Television. I Made A Terrible Mess Of Most Of Them And I Was Quite Intimidated. I Felt Very Embarrassed And Went Back To London. I Got British Television Jobs Intermittently Between The Ages Of 23 And 27, But It Was Very Patchy.

My Goal Was For Acting To Become My Main Income. I Would Say To Myself, 'i'm Good Enough'. That Became My Mantra.

'cause I Do So Much Homework I'm Good To Go On The First Take; I Don't Want To Rehearse. I Like The Element Of What's Unpredictable Of That First Take And Nobody Knows What's Going To Happen, And I'm A Big Fan Of That.

Sometimes If I Stick In A Character Too Much I Feel Like I Might Start To Get Blinkered, Because I'm Making My Decisions Too Definite.

Why Not Provoke Some Thought And Get People Talking About Things? I Like Characters That Are Flawed Because We All Are. When People Break Up In A Script, You Think, Oh, Right, There Must Be Tears Shed Here. But Maybe The Fact Of The Matter Is That They're Both Laughing.
