I wanted to be one of the voices in the box.

I'm going to try to not let anyone put me in a box, and that certainly applies to the things I do outside of acting.

I wanted people to see me, to change their minds about me.

Somehow, by just continually pestering the general public by appearing on television, they accepted me and wanted more.

I was so worried that people wouldn't like me or my story.

For the vlogging channel, I wanted to build the infrastructure and build up all the personalities in a way that felt like weren't just forcing the audience to watch everyone we have.

I'd been going up for things, but I hadn't got anything, and then 'Anne Frank' came out, and there was a sudden flurry. I got a call saying they wanted to see me at the Globe, which was incredible because I'd been coming here since I was 12.

I don't want to sound obnoxious, but I like to think I brought it another step. I was able to bring people who were casually interested in boxing together.

I wanted to have a reaction from the audience. I wanted to be able to talk to somebody, and not be talking just to myself. That's when I did 'The Conformist,' 'Last Tango in Paris,' etc. And I found it was incredibly rewarding, something new.
