There Is A Different Kind Of Vulnerability

Eight Years Ago, I Was Drawn Into Keats's World By Andrew Motion's Biography. Soon I Was Reading Back And Forth Between Keats's Letters And His Poems. The Letters Were Fresh, Intimate And Irreverent, As Though He Were Present And Speaking. The Keats Spell Went Very Deep For Me.

And, I Mean, I Think Poetry Does Need To Be Met To Some Extent, Especially, I Guess, 19th Century Poetry, And For Me, It's Just Been So Worth The Effort. It's Like I'm Planting A Garden In My Head.

Between 18 And 26 I Acted Professionally, On The Stage And A Little Bit On Television. Acting Is Okay, But It's Quite Pressurized. Then I Went To England - I Wanted To Reinvent Myself.

What I Have Learned From My Work Up To Now, Is To Try To Be Open, But Also Protect Myself By Not Letting The Good And The Evil Get Too Much Importance.

Only When You Are Relaxed Can You See What's Going On.
