I think it's good that I had some experience of the real world before I became successful. You know, having to get up in the morning and going to work in construction.
I'm starting to shake it off, I am quite self-conscious, and it's only when I'm playing roles that I can escape that. The older I get, the more people tell me it's absolutely fine to be the way you are with all your quirks and nuances, and I wish I'd learnt that younger - I would have relaxed a bit
In my experience it's not essential to get on with the person that you're acting opposite.
