I was cleaning out the pigsty at a farm in Wales, where my mother had rented a room, when the results of my final school exam were handed to me by the postman, along with the news that I had a state scholarship to Oxford.

When I made my Broadway debut, I was still cleaning houses, something I'd done since I went out on my own at 15. ↗
