3 If someone wants to employ me, whoever wants to employ me, I'll go and do that. I just want to work.
4 I'm very self-conscious as an actor, with performances and things, and I don't like watching my own stuff.

6 I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.
7 I'm very comfortable being at home and keeping my head down, really. It's nice being invited to night clubs and stuff, which is nice once in a while, but I prefer to kind of keep to myself.
