Tim Warrillow

My first real entrepreneurial experience came at University where a friend and I started a small waitering agency business...

Julian Bourne and Matt Pritchard

In the early days, the only difference between being an entrepreneur and unemployed is your mindset and imagination.

Jag Bhara

I like to say ‘Entrepreneur’ is french for unemployed. I'm hilarious like that. However, being an entrepreneur is a multidimensional privilege.

Adrian Lukis

Being an interesting performer is a much more complicated business! It is about more than being truthful, requiring an intensity and a deep understanding of the character.

George Humphreys

I’ve got some CV highlights (singing at Covent Garden or The Proms) but the most enjoyable thing is always when you get to perform with friends, or when you get to play a particularly fun character, especially the baddies.

Josh Bowman

Believe me when I say that the number one asset to have as an actor or artist of any kind is perseverance.

Marcus Lyon

When I was 14, maybe a bit younger, my mother gave me my first camera. It was like finding a voice that I never had; an ability to communicate and talk with a power that I didn’t know before.

I have just returned from a two-year stint in Beijing as the chief physician at a group of Chinese hospitals.

Don’t take things too seriously and if you have an idea of what you want to do (as I did) don’t put it off, just start it. Probability shows it’ll likely fail but what you’ll learn by failing, or succeeding, will be invaluable.
