audition careful cut extremely fell hospital leg needless onto open quite rushed stage stepped until
The audition went quite well until I fell off the stage at the end. I cut my leg open and was rushed off to hospital in an ambulance. I didn't get the part and I have never stepped onto the Leatherhead stage since. Needless to say I will be extremely careful this time.
brain efficiency human-brain
Small though it is, the human brain can be quite effective when working at full efficiency, not unlike myself!
funny jobs dumb
It's not so much a thankless task, it's more a job with no thanks
convincing
I hope I'm always convincing when I act!
wave clean
The waves of time wash us all clean.
years space people
I would still like to go up in the space shuttle. It's appalling that the accident happened, but it was an accident and obviously if I knew there was any risk, I'd be foolish to do it. I'd love to stand outside the Earth and look at it. Extraordinary feeling that, something that we've been tied to for millions of years, and a handful of people have looked at it, to be able to do that would be stunning.
proud revision stories
I'm perfectly proud of the work I did, looking back at it. I know I've had a bit of a revision since my 'Big Finish' stories came out.
jobs merit
I take every job on its merits.
