#Quote
1"Oliver Reed regretted not sleeping with every woman in the world, and Betjeman said he wished he'd had more sex. It doesn't matter how much sex I have, I'll be of Olli Reed's mind when it comes down to it. And so will anybody who's honest".
2What did my parents say when I told them I wanted to be an actor? 'Be a plumber.'
3Shakespeare I love, but for an English graduate, I'm incredibly badly read.
