But at the time, that was pretty epic.

I was working like all like, you know, bar and restaurant jobs, things like that.

But I've always kind of had a job.

Like even now I'm temping as well.

So I'm always sort of being like, you know, I think getting into this gig late, I never had that kind of feeling of I should only be doing this.

I've always done bits of everything else.

I remember my interview saying, look, I just would really like to learn how to read a play because I found reading play... I was like, I love theatre, but I don't like reading plays.

And I can't say I came out four years later really that excited about reading plays anymore.

And I had gone in wanting to be... So I do read plays, just not loads.

But I had gone in wanting to write.

But I honestly, I think from when I started college to when I first wrote my first play was 20 years nearly.

Wow.

If I think about it.

Maybe 18.

So I found sitting down and actually writing text very hard.

Right.

Because I just didn't have any faith in the process or my own voice or...

how to articulate myself in writing, probably some form of like, you know, if it's not as good as all the people I've read, what's the point?

All those kind of things.

And so I started working.
