Standing in public in other people's clothes, pretending to be someone else. It's a strange way for a grown man to make a living.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Putting somebody else's pants on and pretending to be somebody else is occasionally, as you grow older, horrifying.
That is a strange phenomenon, people pretending to be other people.
As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world.
I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.
I've done quite a lot of growing up in public, which has been tricky at times.
You just suddenly think that there's something quite childish about acting. Basically, it's pretending, isn't it? It's good fun and I enjoy it, but it's a funny way of making a living, particularly when you make a very good wage, as I've been fortunate enough to do.
To me, being grown-up meant smoking cigarettes, drinking cocktails, and dressing up in high heels and glamourous outfits.
Being is like pretending.
I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it's something I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it's because I'm intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting.
Dressing up. People just don't do it anymore. We have to change that.
