When I got the part I panicked on how now I'm going to do a New Zealand accent in New Zealand.

But I've been pretty lucky, the press have been very good to me but yes, there are certain instances when there is a high intrusion. But if you are in that position there are pros and cons to it. You have to take it with a pinch of salt and say 'this is part of the job'. Anything that does happen you have to say 'this is going to be gone by tomorrow', ... You just have to learn not to read it.

We were all really panicked when we heard the gunshots,

Try and fit in in a New Zealand playground with an Armagh accent - it doesn't work.

These guys never panicked. Even when they were down, they never did panic. We knew we could come out and play.

I went (to rehab), I got sober when I was 22 years old. You get panicked ... and I got panicked for my life.
