Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had to do all kinds of jobs to pay the rent. I've even worked in a Cornish tin mine.
I went to university for a year, and I'm not one for schooling and have no enjoyment sitting in a classroom all day and ended up going to live in England for two years, just to travel. I worked in a bar in a hotel for a couple of years and had no intention of becoming an actor. That's where I met my agent.

Being in Oxford can be a bit like being on holiday - there's plenty of time spent in the pub.
