Withnail and I actor Richard E Grant is the guest on this week's Róisín Meets podcast.
He speaks candidly about his life and some formative childhood experiences, and has a few probing questions to ask Roisin himself.
“I think that this very common to kids who have witnessed something like that - you feel guilty for seeing something that you know instinctively you’re not supposed to have seen. And so in a weird way for two years I thought I had precipitated the reason my mother left.”
"I've never stopped being starstruck by people, because I think there's something absolutely mysterious and charismatic about this invisible thing called talent. In whatever sphere people have it. Carrie Fischer, who'd seen me on a TV chat show some years ago, said to me, "I've a word to advice for you young man".
I said oh what’s that Carrie, who is the same age as me, and she said, “you are no longer a tourist, you’re one of the attractions”. In other words, get over yourself and stop being starstruck by people. And I haven’t.”
