A British porch is a musty, forbidding non-room in which to fling a sodden umbrella or a muddy pair of boots; a guard against the elements and strangers. By contrast the good ol’ American front porch seems to stand for positivity and openness; a platform from which to welcome or wave farewell; a place where things of significance could happen.
Dan Stevens Quotes
You see, the one place I know where it seems totally acceptable to lie is on an actor's CV. The job of 'pretending' just seems to leak on to the page. I know an actor with 'badger taming' on his resume. Yes, I can ride a horse, play the violin and speak German. More or less. Looks good and probably won't ever be called upon. Probably. Until it is.

At 13, in my first year of Tonbridge, I went up for the part of Macbeth. I was up against the 17- and 18-year-olds, but for some reason I got the part. It made me incredibly unpopular with my peers, but it was the English and drama teachers who stepped in to save me when others wanted me kicked out of the school.
