It's good to go with your gut instincts in life. You just should. Even if it doesn't work out, something good will come out of it.
I went to Floridita on Wardour Street when I was 18. All I could afford was pumpkin soup and a glass of champagne, but it was worth it.
I actually don't have a problem with shooting and then just walking away and forgetting about it. I'm not really like a Method actor or an old soul. It doesn't stay with me.
I'd like to make over Marilyn Manson and just dress him really normally to see what he looks like. That'd be really weird!
I've got a coin with my face on it. It is really bizarre.
Space excites me. My dream is to go to space.
I am legitimately Scottish. I can officially say — yes. Yeah, I am from Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland.
I never cared about modeling. As a model, you're powerless.
I was one of those weird children that just couldn't talk to people, so I kind of had to make myself be not like that because I knew it was going to hinder me.
