I'm a little distant.
A little suspicious, I suppose.
I'm comfortable just chuntering along through my slightly isolated life.
But I'm not a recluse.
I don't live in a tower.
I live in a house here and I'm travelling a lot.
I have my immediate family, my niece Tara and my lovely wife Stella.
And they boss me about.
They tell me what to do.
And I'm happy with that.
I think it's partially intentional because many years ago, there were two teachers at the Royal Academy.
There were brief visitors there.
They did not appreciate the academy, the academics, but they were teachers of the Stanislavski system, let's say.
And I remember this one teacher called Jett Malmgren.
And he was a dance teacher.
He's Swedish.
And I used to go to these painful classes of movement.
I hated them.
And I'm built like a Welsh rugby scrum, you know, a bit beefy.
And Jett said, Anthony, you have too much extroverted motoric energy and you will become insensitive.
