I went to the Glasgow Youth Theatre and they just let me in. But I was so shy that I was there for about six weeks without actually introducing myself.

At the moment, my mother is the only one left in Glasgow, although it's certainly my home.

That was our worst period in six weeks.

Television is great but for me, as a performer, nothing compares to a live theatre show.

I'm not a natural story-teller. Put a keyboard in front of me and I'm fine, but stand me up in front of an audience and I'm actually quite shy and reserved.

It's easier for me to get three times the amount of money I really want.
