Lenny Henry

As a performer, you get your ‘thing.’ You’re the deadpan comedian, or the mad one, or the sexy one, and then you rely on that and mine that seam for years and years and you kind of forget who you were. There’s this mask that you hold up between you and the audience that means they never get to see who you really are.

– Lenny Henry

When I played Aimee and I’d make flapjacks in ‘Sex Education,’ I started the scene by taking big bites of these flapjacks. By take nine, I was still eating, I just felt so sick.
