Interview with Phil Samphire, disability arts information and advocacy worker. Age 34. Comes from Manchester.

What does your job involve?
It sounds really interesting. Have you always worked in the arts?
No, like a lot of people, I was out of work for long spells in the eighties. I did have various jobs - I was a stable boy, a kitchen porter, even a toilet cleaner! Then I started to get fed up of being turned down for decent jobs - I was a disabled person and I had no qualifications - so I decided to go to college.
What did you study?
So what did you do after your degree?
Which aspects of your job do you like the most?
What about the least enjoyable aspects?
Any advice?
And do you look forward to work every day?
