I've always been able to be firm, to talk my way out of sticky situations. Bullies at school. Attempted muggings.

To be a good director, you have to have good life experience. I'm getting there.

I struggle with reading a bit. I'm slightly dyslexic, so reading takes me quite a while, and in general, I'm not a big book reader at all. And something like 'Game of Thrones' seems very daunting to me!

I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.

I never went to a drama school or anything. I just gave it my best shot, and everyone seemed to like it, so I carried on doing it.

I play bass. I play a bit of guitar. I've never been to a lesson, so my theory of music is non-existent in any instrument, but we always had guitars around. My dad taught me to play drums for 'Love Actually,' and I still play drums now. But I'm not a 'drummer.' I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.
