I didn't really like being on television at all.

When I was younger, I didn't want to be on TV.

When you watch the sitcoms that were the big hits when I was growing up, TV was still just TV. It was allowed to just be TV. There were three channels that were competing for the whole family and you couldn't take your business elsewhere.

I didn't want to do film or commercials or television.

We didn't have a TV because we didn't have a whole lot of money. My parents would have their friends over - their friends who thought, 'How can you live without a TV?'

I wasn't really excited about doing television, to be quite honest.

There was no television, so the radio provided you with everything.

You can only do so much theatre.

I didn't want to do it... I'd been trying to get out of TV for years!
