Sometimes being away, on location, I feel like I’m away for much of my own life. I want to be better at staying connected.

Location Sometimes Want
That’s something I have to work on: to separate what really matters, to conserve energy by not worrying about what other people think.

People Thinking Worry
I remember very clearly someone saying, ‘Don’t shake hands with the cactus,’ and I thought, ‘Well, why not? What could possibly go wrong?’ Shaking hands is a friendly gesture.

Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn’t a child actor brat; I didn’t travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.

Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it.

I’m not very geeky. I’m quite homespun. I would say I’m more modern rustic than gadget-orientated. I like woollen things and log fires and whiskey
