And that was also a miracle.

And that was also always due to these really brilliant adults who I was surrounded by.

And this was another woman who was my boss.

And she said to me one day, what are you going to do?

And I said, well, I really want to be an actress, but I know I can't because I've just been told I can't.

And she said, well, why?

Because it's too hard, blah, blah, blah.

And she said, no, no, no, absolutely not.

Here, go here.

And she sent me off to this acting class.

which is an evening thing where I met the man I married.

And I enrolled in this very difficult to get into school.

I mean, there was sort of 2000 applicants for 20 places.

And I got through the first round and I couldn't believe it.

And the morning of the second round of auditions, I was in the kitchen doing the washing up, as all good au pair girls do.

And she comes in and says, what are you doing?

I said, well, there's no point in me going.

I'm never going to get in.
