“When I was about 17, I didn't speak. English was like a foreign language. I'd just grunt. The only time I talked was when I said my lines on set. I didn't speak to any of the actors or anything. Then one day Alison from the Corrie press office started talking to me in the green room and I just decided to talk back. She ran upstairs to tell everyone that she'd just had a 10-minute conversation with me like it was the most unbelievable thing in the world. I just woke up one day and thought, 'I'm going to talk today'. I've really made up for lost time since.” WorldMadeSaidTodayActorsLostSpeakLanguageLinesRoomsTalkingMinutesOne DayConversationOfficeDecidedGreenPressesRanUnbelievableOnly TimeUpstairsForeign LanguageSpeak EnglishLost TimeGruntUnbelievable Things Author:Jack P.
