|  And whenever I'm in a situation where I'm wearing the same as 600 other people and doing the same thing as 600 other people, looking back, I always found ways to make myself different, whether it be having a red lining inside of my jacket, having red shoes, it hasn't changed. | | So I continued through my next school, which takes me up to the age of 17, moving from the bottom stream of one year into the bottom stream of the next year, all the way through. I showed other talents which gave me self-respect, which is fine. | | I was the youngest. The yule lamb. The one who always got away without doing the washing up. My sister was four years older, and my brother six years. | | No, I don't believe in hard work. If something is hard, leave it. Let it come to you. Let it happen. | | We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams. | | I envy children who know that they're going to become doctors, know they're going to go into the forces or whatever. I think choice is one of the hardest things, but that's what I try to give my children, to say you can do anything. | | I succeeded on sort of chutzpah and charm. No technique at all, didn't know what I was doing, but it worked and the character suited me. | | Because I'm now successful, what I'm being offered as an actor is more and more of the same. | | However, I wasn't very good at the sciences, or didn't have a lot of help in the sciences or something but certainly didn't set science for my A level. And when I came to take my A levels I didn't get a good enough result to go to University. | | And trust, yes, which is important, but that is what I aim towards. Now that is difficult for some people, and with that desire to get things as good as possible, I would say that I'm probably regarded as quite prickly to work with. |
