I've been in relationships and had long-term boyfriends since I was 13, so I've always had that emotional pillar of support. I'd got to a point where I felt like I couldn't live without that.

I got really bored of sitting around waiting for work or for the next movie to come along that only 100 people would see. I got bored of being skint, of twiddling my thumbs, wondering how to take my life to the next stage.

I thought I was weak and couldn't be on my own. But actually, I can do it; I just need to be a bit braver.
