I'm the only one in my family who's gone down this route.

The appreciation of the arts is always very strong in the family, but no one's gone into practising it.

And I think as we've been talking about, I think, you know, the steps, the seeds have been planted along the way with the choir and then the performance and observing an audience in performance and wondering what that is and, you know, gently becoming a part of it and seeing things and they're making me laugh and be upset and be excited.

And I always wondered how that was achieved.

And so, you know, I just followed that path.

And it's a Rubik's cube, it's a puzzle.

And as soon as I'd taken care of one side, movement, I wanted to tackle another side, which was voice.

And then I wanted to tackle another side, which was text.

But once you turn your attention to one side of the Rubik's cube, the other colors disappear.

So you have to go back and work on them again and keep reworking them.

And if you put it down thinking it's done and you put that cube down...

with its various facades, you come back to it three days later and the colours have changed and you have to work on it again.

You find romance at the college?

Yes, at the sixth form college, yes.

This is a proper romance.

Proper romance, yes.

Faye was a dancer, and she was my first serious relationship.

I was...

17, 16, 17.

And we just, you know, blossomed under each other's attention and she danced and I would watch her dance and thought it was amazing what she could do.
