There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.

I was brought up by a really proud, supportive family, so I have that sort of grounding.

I don't really know what the dream role would be. That's a hard question to answer. You never really know, until you're immersed into something, how passionate you feel for it and how it unravels.

I'm constantly trying to find something that's different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That's not for me.

My world was completely different to other boys my age. When I was six I was earning money, and by 10 I was paying more tax than the parents of other pupils. I feel a lot older than my years. Because I was working with adults, I had to mature a lot quicker.

I grew up in the '90s. I listened to a lot of The Clash, Velvet Underground and Roxy Music. I wasn't into Boyzone, or anything.

It's great when talented people in the world, in the same business, can see your work and compliment you on what you're doing and take a strong interest in your movements in your career.
