I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was.

English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent.

The funny thing is, because I was doing a lot of theater when I was a kid, and a lot of that was musical theater, as I got older I became more interested in acting as a separate entity and music as a separate entity, like songwriting and production and recording and playing music.

Comic-strip stuff isn't really my cup of tea, really.

To work in America or other places is more about curiosity, because I'm dealing with cultures and sensibilities that I don't really know. So I'm having to sort of investigate them, which I'm fascinated in, but it comes from a place of curiosity rather than a real need to get something out of my system.
