My dad thought I'd end up in the poorhouse or in doughnut shops with a bag full of reviews.
I foresee that poverty and obscurity probably await me, and I am in some measure prepared and daily preparing to meet them.
It's a blessing and a curse. But it's not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don't recommend acting at all.
Everything goes fast in football. You can be transferred tomorrow, as you can be in one or two years.
There's just no real job security when you're shooting a show about an apocalypse, and anybody could die at any time.
Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.
I've never been in jeopardy, but being an actor is a pretty shady place to be because you never know where your next job is.
A Trump presidency feels as if we've crawled between the covers of a really crummy book.
Honestly, I don't recommend anyone get into music. If you have something else that you're good at, do that instead. This is a really tough world to live in.

The cruel realities of austerity and Brexit mean that life is chaotic, expensive and the road ahead is littered with obstacles.
And we... right from moment one, we were always kinda up against the wall a little bit when it came to the future of the show. There were always rumors.
