Of course I'd get worried if the scripts stopped coming through the letter box. But I haven't been in that position for a long time now. I was once told I wouldn't come into my own until I was in my forties - and it has been quite true. But it was a daunting at the time. I was about seventeen or eighteen and I thought I'd have to survive for twenty years before I started making a living. But then, at twenty-two I was in my first TV series Redcap. My name was above the title. I thought whoever said about me waiting until I was forty was wrong. Then at twenty-six I was out of work for those nine months and it all came back.
