It's quite an interesting time, the '20s, because the politics of England were changing quite a lot, and the class structure was starting to shift a little.

I think it's kind of nice, in this day and age of instant gratification, that you have to wait for something.

It's important in show business to have friends who understand the cut and thrust of everyday working life and the constant rejection.
