When I finished my A-levels, I assumed I'd be able to get work as an actor. But I couldn't. I didn't get an audition. Nothing. So I thought I'd better train and then the parts would come.

I find it really hard to say anything coherent or interesting about the work I do.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.
