I'm Not Very Glamorous.

I'm One Of These People That If I Have A Nice Holiday - Like I Have Had In Turkey Repeatedly - I Go Back A Lot.

I Went To University After My A Levels And Did A Degree In Performing Arts. It Was Only When I Got There That I Realized There Were Stage Schools Out There, And You Had Your Union And Your Contacts And The Spotlight And This Whole World Of The Acting Industry That I Had No Idea About. So When I Graduated, I Took A Year Out And Just Thought Really Hard About Whether It Was Something I Knew Enough About, And Whether It Was The Career I Could Dedicate The Rest Of My Wacky Life To.

I Was Very Much Into Science When I Was Young - I Wanted To Be A Marine Biologist, Then I Wanted To Be A Doctor, And Then Something Else, I Was Always Changing. Acting Didn't Come Up Until Much Later, Probably About 16 Or 17. I Thought, "oh, I Quite Like This."

My Own Style Is One Of Not Much Effort.

I've Had Journalists Beg Me To Please Say Something Negative About My Estate.
