best darker drawn fun good great towards
I'm always drawn towards the darker stuff, because I think it's just a lot more interesting. But it's also good fun doing the comedy, and I think that's why 'Misfits' has been great in that way, as you get a really good balance. I think it's best to try and do everything as an actor, really.
band liked middle opposed playing quite somewhere time
I wasn't, you know, Mr. Popular. I was somewhere in the middle ground. I was quite alternative, the things I liked to do. Skateboarding, at the time. Playing in a band as opposed to playing in the rugby team. You know, that kind of thing.
means
When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a rock star, not an actor. It means I can do what I want on my own terms.
hobby love music pressure release
I don't want to put any pressure on the music; it's my hobby and my release - a thing that I love.
blur cd tape
The first CD I had was 'Definitely Maybe' by Oasis, and I had a tape of' 'Parklife' by Blur when I was nine.
teenage pistols punk
I'm still secretly a bit of a punk. Love The Clash and a bit of the Pistols. I guess as I've got older I've chilled out a bit. But, my teenage angst is still stirring somewhere!
growing-up fans radiohead
I was a huge Radiohead fan growing up.
team skateboarding band
I wasn’t, you know, Mr Popular. I was somewhere in the middle ground. I was quite alternative, the things I liked to do. Skateboarding, at the time. Playing in a band as opposed to playing in the rugby team. You know, that kind of thing.
drama school thinking
I think drama school really teaches you how to annunciate; you're conscious that people might not understand you if you speak too fast and too Welsh.
faces want relaxed
I just want my music to be put out there, not shoved in peoples faces. I want to keep it relaxed.
real music-is behinds
The music is mine. Theres nothing to hide behind. Thats where you see the real person.
long needs actors
When you're doing the same scene over and over, all day long, you need to keep your levels up for your own performance and for the other actors.
nice real mean
Um, well my main profession is acting and music is what I love doing. It's kind of nice like that in a way because it means I'm under no real pressure with the music. I have got complete creative control and I can make whatever I want. So, that takes a lot of the pressures off because there's no financial pressure. And it's something I've always loved doing.
home beer stronger
It's a weird thing with accents. When I go home it gets a lot stronger, when I've had a few beers it gets a lot stronger.
