I try not to be too optimistic or pessimistic. If you're a pessimist then that's depressing all the time; if you're an optimist and things don't work out then that's depressing, too.
Long-term boredom can't lead to anything good.
I just want to be a better actor. You can always get better.
I don't want to share my worries - that's for me to know.
After 'Skins' I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.
When I like something, I love it, but then I'll let it go completely.
As a kid, when you're in a film with somebody, you look up to them, you know?
I'm kind of feeling ashamed now that I never get bullied. Everyone keeps asking me, but I don't, and it's kind of annoying. I wish I could say I did get bullied, because then everyone would feel sorry for me.
I'm not one of those people who sits around knowing all bands and going to gigs all the time.
It's a scary life and sometimes you think you'll never work again.
It's awkward going to parties with people you don't know, especially when they think they know you.
The lead actor, along with the director, plays a big role in what the vibe will be on set, and that's a huge responsibility.
The action stuff is only good if you get the character stuff in there as well. Sometimes that get lost in amongst all the trying to make stuff blow up.
I don't mind my eyebrows. They add... something to me. I wouldn't say they were my best feature, though. People tell me they like my eyes. They distract from the eyebrows.
