I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

I was putting all those pressures on myself.

I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.
