I Think People Deny Themselves

In My First Year At Drama School, I Did This Kids' Show Called 'let's See.

It's About How You Exist As A Person In The World, And The Idea That Your Work Is More Important Than You As A Person Is A Horrible, Horrible Message. I Always Think About A Little Gay Boy In Wisconsin Or A Little Lesbian In Arkansas Seeing Someone Like Me, And If I Cannot Be Open In My Life, How On Earth Can They?

I Actually Find In America, There's A Slight Snobbery About Actors Who Go Back And Forth Between Big Heavy Dramas And Popcorn Fare. That Always Intrigues Me, Because That Doesn't Exist In The Same Way In Britain. And I Imagine It Would Be Worse. In Terms Of The Sort Of Class, And The Sort Of Snobby, Slightly On The Back-foot Thing Britain Has. But It's Much More Prevalent In America. I'm Really Intrigued By It. I Don't Know Why That Is. But I'm Aiming To Break Down Those Barriers By Being In A Shakespeare Film And A Smurfs Film Within Six Months Of Each Other.

I'm Quite Good, Though I Say It Myself, At Making Strangers Feel At Ease.

If You Are A Cabaret Artist And You Are Mostly Singing Other People's Songs, You're Asking Them To Rethink A Song, Listen To It In A Different Way. The Most Impact You Can Have While Asking Them To Re-listen To A Song Is If It's A Song They Know Very Well.
