There's a difference between a job and a career - if you're the boss you don't stop at six o'clock, you have to worry about everything all the time.

kids class people
The terrible thing in England is if you interview a thousand people, five hundred of them will talk like they're going into a Guy Ritchie movie and the other five hundred will be Mr. Darcy. So we had to find cool, working class kids with no profile who could be John Travolta and James Dean and people like that.
