People think stage school is a little star factory but the truth is kids like me learned about being in a team situation and going out to work earlier than a lot of kids did. I don't know anyone from drama school who's now sitting on their arse doing nothing.

I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable.

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

I would say that jazz is my own language.

When I'm nervous, I stutter, and I had to keep stopping and starting.

You've got a degree in philosophy; so you think you're cleverer than me. But I'm not just some drama queen. Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been.
