mistake guy trying
The only mistake guys can make is to try too hard with their appearance. There's something very unmanly about it.
wise thinking cities
I spend a lot of time in L.A., and I think it would probably be easier if I lived there work wise, but there's no city like London, there is so much going on. I can jump on the Tube and be anywhere in 20 minutes, and all my friends and family are here and I'm not prepared to give that up.
teacher drama school
I had a great drama teacher, and he sort of made out drama school as this incredibly difficult thing to get into: 6,000 people apply every year, and some of the schools only have 12 places. It's a phenomenally difficult thing to get into. And that excited me - I wanted that challenge.
looks wardrobe
When I find a look that I like, that's my entire wardrobe.
jobs real believe
The work my mum does, a lot of it is re-housing homeless people, that's a real job. I play make-believe and dressing up for a living!
fans doe
I'm the biggest Chekov fan - there's something that he does that not many other writers do.
bedroom
My bedroom's like an armoury.
dark colour
I've always been into dark colours.
mom good-friend thinking
I think in this world and this industry, if you let it, it does. And I feel that the people who don't have good friends and family around them are the ones who get a little funny. But I'm very lucky. I have good friends and good family and if I ever stepped out of line, my mom would take me down!
jobs hard-work thinking
I think that among my friends I'm known as being a hard worker; I think if you want to be an actor, there can't be any compromise. You have to work all day, every day. It's not a 9-5 job. There's always something to learn.
expectations great-expectations stories
Great Expectations' is one of the greatest stories.
laughing never-quit theater
For me, one of the biggest thrills is going to a theater and going, "Oh, I got a laugh!" Because you never quite get to hear it [otherwise].
fall believe thinking
Every time I get a role I think, 'I've actually fooled them again, I can't believe they keep falling for this!
actors world matter
You can be the best actor in the world, but if you don't have that one lucky moment, it kind of doesn't matter. There are a lot of amazing actors who will never get the chance to prove themselves because they won't have that one lucky moment.
