Actor is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven't really experienced any of that. Everyone's been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

Someone will always hate what I say. There’s always going to be somebody spitting blood about my wooden-faced, toffee-named, crappy acting.

I'm always playing characters with intellects profoundly superior to mine. That's great fun, even though it's as much a fantasy for me as for the people watching me.

If you can't fail, you can never get better.

That's something I have to work on: to separate what really matters, to conserve energy by not worrying about what other people think.
