There are times when you come across somebody that's really impressive, someone that's got a proper living and really does make a difference to people's lives.

I have no real ambition or strategy. If this was all to finish, it's totally fine. There's a lot more to do out there than put on silly frocks and shout for a living. I could always go back to, 'Would you like soup with that?' Michelle Gomez ambitionbackfine share on social
