I can pretty much live without fast food. I haven't eaten McDonald's in so long, but it's okay.
People think Chace is gay, and thought I was gay, that we were humping. It’s not true, but hilarious. People project their fantasies onto people. I’ve never been someone who makes it my objective to go out and pick up chicks. But I’ve met some fantastic ladies here. You know those amazing conversations where you find yourself in a café talking until 2 a.m. and never see them again.
I can't stand watching myself on TV.
I grew up in a middle class English family just outside London. I wasn't surrounded by that speedy city lifestyle, it was a little mellower.
I don't think musicals are my thing. I'm not a big fan. Definitely have to get on the stage and do something like a straight play.
I like the glamorous indie rock look, like The Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm.
I've always connected with music. Life's not always what you see; it's what going on in your head. Music is what comes out of your subconscious.
I've got a clear line between work and real life.
This is my trademark: I rip my T-shirt. I’m into the whole showing-a-bit-of-chest-hair thing.
I'm a rock 'n' roll guy, really. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I got "Heartbreak Hotel" tattooed on my chest.
I don't want to do something where I play a kid in a school. And I don't understand these spoof movies.
I grew up with it. As a young actor, I was always aware of the brilliant work of Shakespeare. We studied Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth in school. As a young actor, you're always mystified and intrigued by such brilliant work. To actually have the chance to be involved in this production was a wonderful thing for me.
I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.
I feel like you just need to keep writing until the writing itself just begins to take shape.
