I'd like to act in a film without special effects.
bottom british confess fallen head los seem work yearning
I confess I've got a yearning to go to Los Angeles, but I can't work out if it is because a lot of British actors seem to go or because there's this perception that the bottom has fallen out of British drama, so therefore, it's the place to head for.
lose possible work york
It is possible to work out of New York on film and television and still not lose your connection to theater.
estate
I was an estate agent for three years. That was pretty grim.
musical
I went into musical theatre, which I'm not really cut out for - I'm not as skilled at it as other people.

I have been to the theater more since I have lived in New York than I ever really did in London working on a television show.

I think my fighting skills have certainly been improved by working with Peter Jackson.
clerk cups menial properties quite round touring
I did quite a lot of menial jobs. I was a waiter, an inventory clerk touring round properties listing cups and saucers, and a laserquest marshal.

annoying asking bloody learnt people shy spend
It's bloody annoying being shy. I'll spend a whole evening at a party asking everyone else about themselves. I'm not being self-deprecating; it's because I'm too shy to talk about myself. So people come away from the evening actually having learnt nothing about me.
trivial
Light, trivial comedy does not appeal - it is not something I go to see.
enjoy enjoying happier leave life rather watching
My instruction to my parents is that I would rather they enjoy their retirement than leave me anything when they go. I am much happier watching them enjoying life.
