Nerves are always a big problem for me, which is why I loved doing American sitcoms. Because you know when you do the take in front of the audience that you're going to do it again afterwards.

laughing seen suddenly time
I had not seen it for a long time and was suddenly embarrassed to find that I was laughing more than anyone.
interest relationship supremely
I had a very, very difficult relationship with my mother, who was supremely self-centred. She was hilariously self-centred. She did not really take interest in anything that didn't immediately affect her.
