Nobody can prepare you for the loss of a parent.
I had absolutely no idea of the scale of its following and the globalness of 'Bond'.
I have to be careful what I eat before going onstage, to avoid an upset stomach.
I'm an appalling flyer. I get very tense, although I no longer weep uncontrollably for no reason - I just sob if there's turbulence.
It's one of the oldest theatrical adages: never work with children or animals.
My nickname is Bondy. But not because of the Bond films - it was my surname a long time before I did those.
