home london england
I have an apartment back home in London. England will be home for me. It always has been and always will be. It's where my friends are.
character mean play
I suppose with any character that you play you always bring your personal experience to it. You always bring people that you know or that you've met and sort of - this is what I do, I mean, I don't know what anyone else does - but people that you know or that you've met that have affected you in certain ways, you bring into it.
school horror exorcist
I like old school horror movies like Exorcist. I always loved scaring myself and I don't know at all what that's about.
girl book years
I was obsessed with girls when I was 13 years old; I wasn't really into books.
guitar singing energy
I'm working on my music a lot, like folk singing, guitar. It's sort of rocky, folky, alty, angsty. I'm putting a lot of energy into that.
hurt jobs judging
As an actor and as a performer, I'm very much aware of the fact that my job is to change both physically and emotionally and that was what hurt the most - the fact that people were judging me based on nothing.
selfish character mean
As a director, you have a thousand things going on in your head, and of course, that's going to be difficult. That's going to mean that some things get overlooked. And so, for us as performers, being the selfish pricks that we are, we're sitting there being concerned about ourselves all the time and our character's through-line.
extroverts stuff easy
I'm an extrovert, I like to gesticulate and talk loud and stuff, and the theater is easy for me.
mean broken chocolate
I like being broken. It means I can have chocolate for breakfast.
boarding earn family friendship school until
I went to boarding school in the country, so there's no real differentiation between family and friends. I went there from when I was 8 until I was 17 - it was insane. If you earn my friendship, you are my family, and I'll do anything for you.
andrew chad dirty jay love obsessed outside run skating spent time
I'm a dirty kid: I like to be outside, I like to run about, I like to get messy. So I spent a lot of time outside as a kid, skating and just being a disaster. I was obsessed with Dogtown - I still am obsessed with Dogtown, the Z-Boys. I love Stacy Peralta and Jay Adams and Andrew Reynolds, all these guys. I used to think I was Chad Muska.
jobs thinking nervous
I think I'm nervous to sign on to any job.
men interesting action
For me, it's interesting because I never thought of myself as an action man, but apparently I can do it, so that's good to know.
skills want different
I want to do more movies. I feel like it's a totally different skill set than there is to theater. It's much more internal.
