Michael Socha quotes:

The only things I could do were English, drama and history. I loved them subjects, but I hated everything else.

I love my Nike Air Max trainers. They're big and bulky and spanking - I can't be doing with grubby trainers.

I was never on the side of the teachers at school. Even though I put all the work into getting the main role in the end-of-year musical when I was 11, they didn't give it me, even though they knew I should have had it. That sort of drove me into am dram and getting the main part in another production. And I did.

I always get nervous when I watch what I'm in. Very self-critical.
