Up North you are holding your own. Everyone considers themselves a comedian.

It can be tough as a jobbing actor.

I was loved as a kid; I was raised with more love and emotional support than most folks could wish for my memories aged nought to ten are all bound up together in a mesh of innocence and fun.

I'm getting positive feedback for my acting so we'll see if any other interesting parts come up.

I've spent lots of time in London, I studied in London, I like London. It's just not my home.

You can sway an audience if you win the women over. The gentlemen will follow 'cause they can be so foolish like that at times, they are easily led.

My forte is playing drunks down the ages. When my agent rings me about a role, I don't ask what the part is, but what century it's in.
