I become quite inhibited particularly when I do comedy, I won't - there's a whole thing of allowing an audience in and if you - if you cover yourself with a mask of, kind of, severity, which I'm quite good at doing, that's masking fear of course, then people feel shut out.

When you're working in the business and you are genuinely trying to do what's right for consumers, and you're trying to genuinely do what's right for suppliers, but the word doesn't get out, the word doesn't get heard because frankly the media is not interested because it hasn't got a conflict attached to it.

Quite often I play roles that require quite a degree of emotional exposure, and they can be very difficult to do.

Having a situation where you have got in conflict with your suppliers all the time is not a great place to be.

I think it's very important for Arts Ministers to purchase art, to attend art, to validate art.

In comedy, it's very, very important to be able to open up so that people feel they're included.
