My brother is a policeman; my sister's an English teacher. When I hear what they make versus what I make, it's ridiculous.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The British keep employing me, and that makes me like them. It also makes me think they're very intelligent.
In America, the policeman is a working-class hero. In England, the policeman is a working-class traitor.
People have lots of misconceptions about me. My mum, who is half French and half Spanish, gets outraged when I'm called quintessentially English. I owe my looks to my mum-which was 90 percent of getting my first job. And, some people would argue, 90 percent of my entire career.
When I was a kid, a policeman was someone you looked up to and respected.
The policeman must be a minister, a social worker, a diplomat, a tough guy, and a gentleman. And, of course, he'd have to be a genius... For he will have to feed a family on a policeman's salary.
My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.
What you do as a policeman might be the right thing to do, but it's not entertaining. I left that behind me.
My mother was an English teacher who decided to become a math teacher, and she used me as a guinea pig at home. My father had been a math teacher and then went to work at a steel mill because, frankly, he could make more money doing that.
My dad was a cop. My mom worked at various jobs - she worked as a homemaker, a bank teller, a bartender.
My dad's an ex-policeman, and my mum is a sales representative, and they haven't got the acting bug. Bless them.
