I'm not going to be one of the guys who hangs around if he doesn't have a road to the title.
When I went to New York to try and make it, I never thought it wouldn't happen.
It was total naivety that got me to Hollywood. I thought it was going to happen straight away. I told myself 'give it 5 years, there's no way I'll be here after that if it doesn't happen'. Cut to ten years later!
Maybe that's my lot in life as an actor, to be the guy who gets crapped on everywhere he goes. Oh God.
I guess a younger me would like that I tried acting? Although I swore that I'd actually go to L.A. and try to make it in movies and I didn't do that. I did try, though. And I found that I didn't like it.
I never got a lead role and I make no bones about it.
I toured around for years, but the road was always a drag for me. I never made a dime. In fact, I lost a lot of money - it was horrible.
I wanted to give an honest insight into a consuming Tour. It's turned out pretty interesting because there aren't many books out there documenting someone's failure.
