I learnt the theory of movement, which I still teach sometimes. I was very, very ambitious to learn a skill.
I had a quick ear and could pick up languages.
I had a place in England and was commuting from England to Australia, which is pretty stupid, but after two years I sort of knew what I wanted to do, more or less.
I got through my teen years by being a bit of a clown.
I didn't know what to do with myself. I wasn't excited by the teaching of the school. If they'd been intent on really teaching you things, I would have been a little more attentive.
Blank House was exactly a nice empty sheet where nothing was accountable because you were so naughty that you were in Blank House.
At boarding school you had to wear your name across your chest and your back, and obviously I had a pretty funny name. It wasn't Brown or Smith or Hughes.
If you were in the film industry at that time, you were always picked up by directors who were much older. You were whisked about and shown things. I did work very hard though.
I don't think in my family anyone looked after anyone. It didn't matter how old they were.
I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.
