The very idea of “making it happen” (acting) can sometimes feel like you have a circus going on in your head. There’s a ringleader shouting “Roll up, roll up ladies and gentleman for this spectacle called your life”.

I spend a lot of time banging on about good sh&t. I know I do. People tell me I do. And people often despairingly ask “how do you keep so positive?” Want to know the secret? I don’t. Fact. I get down just like you. I get grumpy just like you. I get frustrated, annoyed, […]

And this is because as Steve Trister and I have been interviewing awesomely experienced people each day, I have been having all of these […]
