He's so sweet. What's his daily routine like? Um if he's not much of a walker, which I don't wanna assume he is but he's
Well do you know what's weird? Again, people would say, Oh well, you never get to sleep with a dog, it's like having a baby. I have to wake him up. I mean I get up quite early now, so I'll get up at like seven or something. Yeah. I'm literally going, Raymond, Raymond, he's just lying there. He's like Princess Margaret. He lies in until about eleven sometimes.
It's so funny he wakes up, has his first bag of the day. He's a bit like amazing. He's like, is someone gonna curl my hair or do I have to do it myself?
Can you run my bar? That's why he's quite tired 'cause this is quite early for him. We've met at um eleven. And he's a bit like this, isn't it? Funny. Um so Wow Raymond, what a life you have, my guy. But going back to your childhood, I find that I don't know, I suppose it just it must have been difficult, I suppose, just feeling I mean could you talk to your parents about it? Could you say to them when you realised presumably you were a teenager, you didn't come out till you were No, I didn't older but did you just not talk to anyone about those feelings?
I didn't talk to anyone about them because I don't know that I knew how to name them. I wasn't I wasn't a particularly sexual team. Like I wasn't I wasn't um I didn't kiss anyone until I was nineteen or I wasn't it wasn't a focus for me. So it didn't feel like I had to hide anything. There was no relationship or attraction specific to a person.
Yeah.
But also no, it didn't feel like the thing it it what didn't feel I wouldn't have even known where to start.
Yeah.
Um and also I really didn't want to say the words out loud in school because i I would have been a social pariah. Um an old girls school is not the one when like lesbian was just so it was like the worst thing you could be. Right. Um so no, I didn't Talk to anyone about it, but it also It wasn't like I didn't have any shame about it either. I don't know how I managed to uh get around that. I think debating weirdly. I had this amazing debate teacher, Mr. Murphy, and we debated every kind of topic and so I had discussed gay rights in theory before it had any like personal effect for me, which I think made me feel like it was a morally okay thing. Right. As a as an intellectual thing before it was personal, which is actually
It's actually so powerful I think. To to think of a group's rights before you almost know you're in the group. To go like actually that's Obviously that should be fine. Yeah. It was very freeing.
Um And so that's interesting with the debating 'cause what that must have given you is a sense that you did have a talent for performing if you like.
Definitely, it definitely did. I d I definitely if I got laughs a ever in school it was at lunchtime debates. Um in debates against teachers or older girls or yeah. And also I Did it all the way through university and it got me to see the world and read about things I would never have read about and And you switched universities, didn't you? 'Cause did you go to university college then Trinity? Wow, this is well researched, yes. I went to E C D to study
How does Catherine describe her childhood and early feelings of being different?
Law and history.
Yeah.
Hated law.
Had done law because Yeah, but it it's upsetting 'cause you are the dream in the film, you are the barrister. Aren't you you're the barrister I'd want. You're the barrister I'd like to.
I do understand why everyone pushed me towards it because I think I make sense as a lawyer. But I well actually I found university it turns out I don't think it was law that was the issue. I think university was difficult for me because I'd been sp I'd been really good at imbibing the information we were spoon fed and reproducing it in exams.
