There was a TV special every year called 'Circus of the Stars,' and I did three consecutive ones - one as a juggler, one as a high-wire performer, and one as a high hand balance.
Some people are born to lift heavy weights, some are born to juggle golden balls.
I never went to acting school. I started in the circus, music hall, I was in a group, did kids' bits. I've always had this kind of insecurity being uneducated.
I'm always trying to show versatility. I'm juggling, and I'm flipping fire, and I'm chewing gum and rhyming at the same time... on a unicycle, while playing the drums.
I don't have any juggling or fire-eating skills.
I could take an umbrella and balance it on my chin or on my foot. And I just got interested in that kind of thing. And as I played games more and more and got stronger physically, I just became more coordinated.
I rendezvous with the long wire and perform the 'torero walk', gliding my feet, holding the pole away from my body, head high.
On the high wire, within months, I'm able to master all the tricks they do in the circus, except I am not satisfied.
I used to take circus lessons. I dreamt of being picked up in the street because they saw me doing something circus-like.
I can now put 'experienced aerialist' on my resume.
I was thrown out of different schools because I was practicing my arts - magic, juggling, and the high wire.
For better or worse, I have a lot of vaudeville circus skills that you just can't showcase in Aaron Sorkin's work.
I learnt circus skills in drama group, so I can juggle.
I've been taking a trapeze class for the last couple of years. I'm working on my double back flip right now.
I actually went to circus school as a child. I think my specialty was walking on the big ball. You know the big ball you can walk on? Yes, I was quite good at it.
Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
Naked acrobatics are on my resume.
I reckon if I ever marry, she will have to be a strong woman in a circus or something.
