1. “Making my mum and dad proud. After no seizing your moment, you know, I think me and Matt waited quite a long time for our moment to come. A lot of our contemporaries sort of overtook us, and I think we were a bit scared it was never going to happen. And then when it did happen for us, we really, really focused and thought, okay, we've got a successful show, now we're going to deliver a second series and a third series, and we're going to tour, and we're really going to kind of, well, I don't want to say milk. We're really going to enjoy it. And similarly having the opportunity to do the pinter play with Michael Gambon has been my favourite act of twenty years. I feel like, well, I'm being asked to do it now. So I've got to do it now.”
