Singing Is Incredibly Physical.

For Me That's One Of The Great Indulgences In Life - A Hand-tailored Suit, And A Great Pair Of Handmade Shoes.

I Tended To Favour The Piano Over The Guitar Because It Stays In One Place, Which Is What I Like To Do.

I'm Not A Loner At All.

Acting Is Something I Love. It's A Great Craft That I Have A Lot Of Respect For. But I Don't Think It's Any Greater Challenge Than Teaching 8-year-olds Or Any Other Career. In My Life, I Try Not To Make It More Important Than It Is And I Just Hope That Rubs Off On The People Around Me.

At The End Of Drama School, I Made A Contract With Myself: I'd Try Acting For Five Years. I Was 26. I Had Already Spent Eight Years Working In Restaurants And Gas Stations. So I Had Seen Enough Small Businesses To Understand That That's What Acting Is: A Small Business.
