It has taken a great deal of energy which has not been so difficult to summon as the necessary patience to wait simply wait much of the time - until my instincts assured me that I had assembled my materials in proper order for a final welding into their natural form.
Once you become successful people know where you live the type of house you live in the kind of car you drive the clothes you wear and so it would be patronising to go and talk like a welder. Welding's a mystery to me now. You can't go back your life changes every day.
People ask me all the time 'Are you fed up with reality TV?' At the end of the day it can affect my career in the sense that the more reality shows there are the less scripted dramas out there but I can't ever really knock them. I started on 'Popstars ' which was a reality talent show. I have respect for them.
