| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | My skill, which I’ve mastered, is being slightly out of focus behind really expensive actors. |
| 2 | My fan website says ‘site open since 1987, 37 visitors’. So I’ve got a very small but very dedicated group of fans I guess. |
| 3 | Acting was a way of talking to girls without being cool. Obviously there is the Ginger Freedom Front, but it was a battle until I was about 19 or 20. |
