Stephen Graham Quotes
I was going to become a youth worker because I do voluntary work with the kids in the little village where I live. I make little films with them and stuff when I'm not working. I thought, I'll pack it in then and go and do something I love doing, and get a regular job because I've got two kids and a mortgage.
