I was always insecure about the way I looked.
I'm working class, and want people to know I'm not unintelligent and all the other cliches that come with it.
It doesn't bother me one iota that most of my career has been playing people who are not that - well, let's say that people wouldn't aspire to be like them.
I know what I like when I see it, but no way have I ever become interested in learning about it.
Imagination is a beast that has to be put in a cage.
I know I work quite hard at making people like me.
