I definitely think that theatre is something I'll keep coming back to in my career for as long as I can. I also think theatre's something you have to be very fit to do. I am fairly fit, but I don't think I could do it all the time.
I have quite a rich inner life, and I'm constantly looking for a way to express that. I haven't found it yet in acting. When you're playing a character, you're only going to find outlets for very specific parts of your inner world.
If you're having a bad day, get on with your job, because you having a bad day can affect everyone around you.
There's an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it's where I've grown up.
What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.
I still have issues around forgetting that it's my life and if I want to do something, I can do it.
Fame is damaging when people become reliant on it for their sense of self, and their identity, when fame is linked to how you see yourself.
I don't know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It's very much about the class structure.
I didn't have that normal teenage period when you build up your friends in your area and you have a social circle.
A gay murder movie is never going to be, like, breaking box office records.
I always feel that if you put me in a room with a director and a writer and let me talk about the script, I can give a good account of myself.
Franchises aren't to be avoided. They can be exciting, and they give you opportunities to do other films.
Dane DeHaan, certainly, is kind of the best friend I've made through acting, in terms of another actor. He's fantastic.
I definitely want to go on acting for as long as I can find employment. I'm never happier than when I'm on a film set. I just want to keep working.
