Yeah, it was really brutal.

It was extremely brutal.

And I did not take it well.

And yeah, I was, yeah, chucked out.

Not chucked out, but I was told if I put one, I wanted to transfer to go to another department, to the acting department.

And I'd managed to organise an audition with that acting department.

But then the non-acting department, the teaching department I was in, said if you put one foot in what's-his-name's office, then you'll be out.

And so I just sort of gave up at that point.

And I remember going in, and I'd made this model of the Globe Theatre, because that was part of what we were doing at the time, making little models of theatres.

It was a really interesting course, to be fair.

Central School.

The teaching department was really, really interesting.

Learning how to be a teacher was really interesting.

You did all sorts of things.

You learned how to be a stage manager.

You learned child psychology, which really did not interest me at all.

I was basically a child myself.

And the teaching bit I was a disaster at.

But I really liked this modelling and making this model.

And I went into that room and I was in floods of tears and I just smashed the whole model.
