I'm not the one to always follow professional protocol - but I do know what it is, even at 24 years old.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not a professional. Yet somehow, I manage to get away with it.
I'm conscious of age, but I'm more suspicious of it than anything.
I've always been really in touch with my primal instincts. In my profession, you have to be.
By the time I was 22, I was a professional. A young and flawed professional, but not an amateur.
My principal at RADA once told me, 'You'll know you're a professional when you don't feel like doing it but you have to do it.'
I was told by my mother at the age of five that I was going to be a doctor, and that was the end of the conversation. I was presented with a toy stethoscope and told to learn how to use it.
Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.
In an age that is sometimes nowadays frightening or confusing, we feel reassured by the almost parental-like authority of experts who tell us so clearly what it is we can and cannot do.
I'm very professional.
I am not accustomed to protocol.
