I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There's no space for me to express myself.

I've always thought if you watch the performance and you don't know about the person, then you only see the performance.

But then I got a job selling coffee at the York Theatre, and when I met theatre people, something clicked. I felt comfortable with them; I felt like myself. I decided to go to drama school based just on that feeling. I had never done any acting.

My mother and father are still together after forty something years. I lived in one place till I was 6. I lived in another place from when I was 6 till I was 17.

I did 'Tumbleweeds' for fun. I did it because I loved it and I hardly even got paid.

I do mostly British projects, and for family reasons and life reasons Britain's my home, where I have a lovely garden.
