I don't need to be successful. I love theater and I love acting so as long as I'm doing that I'm happy and I'm learning. If I end up going back to the U.K. to do some theater, great! Sounds fantastic.

[Vice chairman of Barbour] Helen [Barbour] and I realized that I come from the same village that her ancestor John Barbour came from, who created Barbour. It just seemed like such a great connection.
