I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.

My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough'. That became my mantra.

Big things have small beginnings.

I keep everything very simple. I like telling stories.

Why does a three-year-old, and it's usually boys, want to drive the tractor or have machinery and be in control of it? I don't know. Why wouldn't you ask to boil a kettle or something? Maybe you would, I dunno.

You know, it's amazing. I don't even have a car, would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I've got to buy another one of those, I suppose. I can treat myself to that.

You want society to accept you; but you can’t even accept yourself.
