So Nevertheless, What I'm Saying Is That

An Acting Assistant Stage Manager In A Theater In Canterbury, A Rep Theater. A Small Wage But Just Enough To Get By On, And I Made Props, And I Walked On, And I Changed Scenery, And I Realized That I Just Loved It.

I Find What I Call The [bleep] Side Of The Industry Very Difficult. You Won't See Me At Other Peoples' Premiers. I Mean, I Go To My Own Premiers Because I Have To Help My Film, But I Don't Enjoy That Whole Side Of It. I Don't Enjoy Celebrityhood. I Love Getting A Seat In A Restaurant. I Love It When People Say Hi When I Don't Know Them. I Mean, That's Fine, But Apart From That, I Like The Elements Of Celebrityhood Which Make Living In The World Like Living In Your Own Village.

I Get Bored Very Easily, So I Love Doing Different Things, Changing, Doing A Job For A Month And Then Doing Another One For Six Months And Then Moving Into A Different Group Of People. I Love Being Able To Stop. That's One Of The Greatest Benefits We Have In Our Profession.

I've Always Thought Of Characters Like Advent Calendars. You Have Christmas And You Have All The Little Doors Over The Windows And Every Day You're Allowed To Open One More As It Gets Towards Christmas And You See More And More About What's Inside That House.i Remember As A Kid Being Fascinated By That And I've Always Thought Of My Character As A Little Bit Like That. I Like To Have Secrets And Slowly Let Those Secrets Out To The Audience, Sometimes Never Let Them Out, But Let Them See As You Open The Shutters, Open And See A Little Bit More Of A Character.

I Love Being Part Of A Group Who Tells Stories, Whether It Be In The Theater Or In Cinema, And I Love Creating Imaginary Worlds Rather As Children Do, But I Never Had A Burning Desire To Act, But It Just Sort Of Suited Me.
