“The reason anything happened for me at all was because my parents, on advice from a primary school teacher, sent me to a drama club on Saturday mornings to bring me out of my shell, and I learned how to be on stage confidently. I didn't learn how to exist with other people in real life, but I knew how to be on stage or in front of a camera.”
