I think it's always a shock for people.

And I think because work has always taken the number one place in my life, people can find that quite hard.

And rightfully so, to not be the kind of number one thing, especially when you're looking forward.

Certainly at my age, when you meet someone, it is about like, what does the future hold at this age?

Because, you know,

when you meet people sort of similar age or whatever.

And I think that, you know, people sometimes take one look at someone who works this hard and thinks maybe this isn't quite right.

So to come back to, I suppose, the sense of failure, I do sometimes think I fail to prioritise anything in my life over work.

And I think that can be, I suppose, a failure at times, yeah.

I mean, it is crazy.

I can have about half five.

I'll have a coffee and breakfast and then I'll head into the edit suite for about six.

I'll try and get all my sort of emails and sort of admin stuff done before people come in around nine.

And then I'll work with the editors, the mixers, the producers, everything up until about seven, eight.

And then I'll stay till about 10, catching up on things.

And then I'll

go home and probably do some more stuff I I tend to you know like it's a HBO show so America wakes up later on as well and I'm always happy to stack till about midnight but I would say I get about four hours sleep a night probably you're like Margaret Thatcher yeah that's the first time that's ever been said about you yeah well I almost quoted her a second ago because I almost said I'm on the Margaret Thatcher uh I'm on the Margaret Thatcher routine at the moment

Yeah, well, a year and a half, the show was filmed in Glasgow and edited up there and everything like that.

And

I just was like, well, if that's where the show is, that's where I've got to be.
