"When I met the Netflix people, the question I had to ask them was, 'Can you polish a t*rd?'" He continued, "I know everyone's got a story, or a t*rd, but I want my particular story, or t*rd, to mean something,'" he told Caitlin Moran in The Times. <\/p>\n

"Like, I know everyone's really interested in the trauma aspect and the addiction aspect, but I've always thought, 'Well, there's more to me than that'. I wanted to break with the form. I need things to be… different from what they were."<\/p>\n
