The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.I have actual acting scars.Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.I had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor.Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.I'm a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I'm all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road.My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.Lines are very difficult to learn.We all want to escape our circumstances, don't we? Especially if you are an actor.I've realised now that the reality of children is you have to be in the right place with the right person.

*well, it is the same quote!
