The things that prey on my mind in London seem to disappear as soon as I find myself in a different environment. Survival mode kicks in.

From a very young age, stories fuelled my imagination in the most wonderful way.

I'm deeply ambitious and I always have been.

I went to drama school for three years, and the whole thing there is that hopefully you are introduced to a man called William Shakespeare who is the greatest of all time of all storytelling.

I am often lost in my own world, with a frown on my face.

I think American guys tend to be a bit more forward, a bit more chatty and open than the Brits. The Brits seem to have a darker sense of humor, though I have met some Americans who have adopted bits of the British dry sense of humor as well.

My real self, the self I have always been from a child, is a loner and nerd, slightly overweight, with a very heavy fringe. That is who I was as a kid. I don't think I will ever be anything other than that.
