But even then, you can and must still build some form of emotional inner bunker.

I accidentally, I mean, I was a TV, I was a, I was an English teacher who got street scouted for Channel 4.

And then that led to me to going to an audition that would go on to change the course of my life when I was 22.

And then

I tried all types of different hosting.

I went to the BBC.

I made documentaries.

I was a VJ.

I was a DJ.

And then after a while, I was 28.

I got bored.

I was like, right, I want to do something else now.

I want to go and write.

So I came to America to write.

I got signed to a big talent agency called Three Arts as a writer.

And then they happened to have the audition come through and they were looking for someone very tall and annoying.

And immediately I sprung to mind, which is very rude.

And...

I went to the audition somewhat against my will, but they just wanted to know if I could act.

So they just sent me to see how disastrously badly it would go.
