Quote: When I was eight years old, I loved making people laugh. I later, turned that ‘classroom clown’ into an actor and fell in love with theatre, then television and film after training at Mountview. When I learnt how to make people laugh, I realised you can make people cry too, and most importantly, you can make people think. I then fell in love with the idea of making change, even if it is just a small one.
Quote:The industry is like a long walk. Expect quiet times, scary times and muddy times. You have no map or compass, so getting lost is part of it. Beautiful, irreplaceable scenes will come at times, but prepare to accept the dark clouds and turbulent weathers, to walk among fools and surrender to the fact that the bad guys are out to get you. Try to invite the world of drama into your life like a marriage. ’Til death do us part. Do not cheat, love hard and be honest.
Quote: There is no reason for an actor to travel, train and struggle in London. We have everything here. (The North East)
