Unless she was two-timing me, maybe she had another best friend.
No, no, no.
But I interviewed her, and in the show that I'm going to do, you see the moment where we fall in love.
There's a moment where she clicks and says, let's go shopping, and everything in my body switched on.
Like, I tapped dance mentally.
So same for Rickman.
I saw him, and I said, that one's mine.
He wasn't famous.
Then we both got into the World Shakespeare Company.
I played some seawater, and he played jayquees.
But then I did get jobs as wenches.
I was a great wench.
So there's wenches in As You Like It and in Love's Labour's Lost.
Anywhere there's a wench, I was a wench.
He loved me.
Well, he said, write the way you talk.
So he made me write.
And then he'd do it for me, and he's much funnier than I am.
So he trained me for 35 years.
And now I'm bereft.
