determination matter obsession
Determination becomes obsession and then it becomes all that matters.
wise jesus growing-up
Ralph Fiennes was a big hero of mine acting-wise growing up and while I was training. I just find him so watchable. He was playing this very intimidating character when we worked together and it certainly felt like he was in character off set as well! He was very cool. Before a scene, he'd be like, "Come on. Let's improvise. Let's just do stuff." But Jesus Christ. He's Ralph Fiennes!
different wonder accents
I always wonder whether I'll get treated differently with a different accent.
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.
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.
growing-up war reading
When I was growing up, there was a man who gave me lessons and things. I'm very dyslexic so he used to give me extra reading and writing. And he always knew that I was interested in stuff but he never told me that he was in the Second World War himself. One day he gave me his helmet that he had worn through the North Africa Campaign. It was just before he died. So I've got his helmet. That was pretty special to me.
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!
mistake guy trying
The only mistake guys can make is to try too hard with their appearance. There's something very unmanly about it.
horse powerful animal
If a horse doesn't want to do something, you're not going to make him do it. They're incredibly powerful animals.

I'm the biggest Chekov fan - there's something that he does that not many other writers do.
