“They think my life is glamourous. It’s not true. I obviously get to come in and do radio interviews. That’s the glamour. But other than that, I eat and sleep and that’s it. Eat, sleep and do shows.”

I started with ballet and then my cousin Sarah introduced me to her tap teachers.

The process of rehearsal means you learn so much and really get the chance to develop your work on a character.

People do more important jobs than acting in film that should be recognised, but for some reason it’s big money, so people are elevated in status. If I was a bus driver, I’m sure you wouldn’t be interviewing me.

If I could have anyone on speed dial it would be George Clooney. He seems like a cool guy who would give good advice.

The most famous person in my phone is Lindsay Lohan. We starred in ‘Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen’ together in 2004 and we’ve stayed in touch.

This form of dancing can’t be dated, it’s such an intriguing form of dance because the feet are also an an instrument.

I started tapping and I was okay. Then after about two years my feet knew what they were doing!

I love travelling, and had the pleasure of being in the most developed country in the world and then parts of two of the most pristine natural areas of the world: the Galapagos islands and the Equador Amazon jungle.

My favorite thing to do is to wind those guys up by hitting on their girlfriends. I say, ‘I think your girlfriend’s gorgeous, but it’s all right, I’m gay.’ They get very nervous after a few minutes!

I do like to keep mementos from my work, whether they be photos, the backs of make-up chairs or even props and clothes.

It’s always fun teasing the person. When they ask if I’m gay, I say, ‘Oh, I don’t know.

I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I’d meet beautiful women in the rain.

The power of the glamorous resides in their supposed happiness: the power of the bureaucrat in his supposed authority.

Mini-tour life isn’t a glamorous, professional golf life. If you’re not on the PGA Tour, it is very tough financially.

Having adventures and covering the activities of world leaders, appealed to me greatly. It was a very glamorous life in those days.
