There's a lovely scene when the guests are joined by the waiter's son, an eminent QC. I spent seven months busking for a living; that's how I earned my rent money.
You know, it was the fact that I was willing to embrace bohemia when I was a young man and give up societal ideals across the board that gave me the freedom to accomplish the things that I've achieved: the fact that I didn't need a car, I didn't need my own apartment and a mortgage and stuff I could take risks. I was completely about looking for work in my chosen field."I also did lots of other jobs as a young man, from fruit picker to car washer to barman, cocktail waiter, restaurant manager. And they all taught me that there was only one thing I really wanted to do - to act - so I went out and did it. I remember being in Melbourne doing a theatre show with two blokes who still bring this up when we talk; how we were all looking at each other going, 'We're three of the luckiest blokes in the world to be doing professional theatre in Australia in Melbourne.'

I don't think there's any need to expand, they've been reading the papers for the last few years."You know, my job is entertainment," he says emphatically "It's a very simple gig The other night, I was in this really privileged place. I cracked open the door at a screening of Cinderella Man during the last few minutes There were cheers, and one girl was just praying And I was like... all the pain, all the days of boxing, the whacks in the head, the shoulder injury, all of that, just got paid back in those few moments.
