I’d wasted my childhood at school and couldn’t be bothered and then ended up working in a factory, and decided that there were two great loves in my life. One was cinema and one was football. So therefore I got a job as a steward at West Bromwich Albion and a job in a cinema. Now, it was really strange, because my Mum had no inclination that I was interested in the cinema at all, and then when I’d got the job at the local cinema as a projectionist I went and told Mum ‘cause I was quite thrilled and Mum burst into tears and I said, “What’s the matter, Mum, it’s a steady job, it’s a...,” you know, “It’s a job, it’s something I was looking forward to doing.” And Mum said, “Well you didn’t know, but your father was a projectionist and that’s how I met him ‘cause I was an usherette.” And I hadn’t had any idea of, of this, you see. So there’s often when you talk to people, people’ll say, “Oh it’s in my blood.” Well clearly it was in my blood but obviously I wasn’t aware of it. So that’s how I got into cinema, just ‘cause I wanted something different, something for a change.
