All of a sudden I'm an actor, and I spend a decade trying to fit in and realising that I didn't, really. Sometimes in the right circumstances, with the right people, it felt OK. But other times it was a bit more jobbing. I didn't fit the mould, somehow.

My fascination is not for cinema; it's for human nature and human beings because I find it quite difficult being one at times.

I know victims of domestic abuse. I know what it takes for people to get out, and I also know why people stay. It's heartbreaking.
