Quote:
'When you're on set, there are always people around you, so that's fine. When I'm scared of the dark it's when I'm on my own, or a pitch black night. I keep telling myself that it's not just me, but it's tied in to that thing of ‘the unknown' and I'm trying to work on that slowly but surely.'
