What a stupid attitude we have in this country to personal stories.
From Amanda Burton
I have nothing against people having work done, it is when I hear tale of girls of 16 queuing up to get bigger breasts, that is when I despair.
I have been acting for 32 years now and I feel so lucky to be able to have done exactly what I wanted to do.
Being an actor is an extension of telling a story and I loved story telling as a child.
I think you know what you're up against when you take on a piece that you know is going to involve dragging up a lot emotions - you can end up being deeply immersed in gloom.
Forgotten was presented to me by the drama department at LWT as a concept and I found it immediately intriguing and very powerful. I was completely led by the power of the piece and its dramatic potential.
I still love coming into work everyday after so many years working as an actress. I've been working more or less continuously and I find I have to really want to do the project to make it work because you have to put such an enormous amount of effort into it.
If I want to run around a field when I'm 70, I would like to have that option.
No, I always wanted to be an actress.
I would never have changed anything in the past. I have been acting for 32 years now and I feel so lucky to be able to have done exactly what I wanted to do.
