There’s another weight of us being in the public eye, which is this presumption that, because your work and your promotion work is very public, your private life should be, too.

Eye Promotion Weight
I am very flattered. I have also become a verb as in “I have cumberbatched the UK audience” apparently. Who knows, by the end of the year I might become a swear word too! It’s crazy and fun and very flattering.
