I used to feel a little apprehensive going to meetings/interviews or lecturing, I possess an extremely broad Mancunian accent, however, I genuinely couldn't give a fuck anymore, I dont measure myself on anyone, I find it keeps me grounded and that little bit of edge goes a long way....
I was at the old vic on Saturday for woyzeck, managed to have a natter with Chris Boyega following the show as my mate was in the play, anyway, he told me how 'Mancunian' I was to which I replied after a few sherbets 'at least I'm not a fat **** from Peckham'... new BFF (:
