Lines are very difficult to learn.

I was brought up in a world of privilege.

There's still nearly the same amount of slavery, if not more, in the world today, as there was at the height of the slave trade.

I never really got obsessed about one thing for long. I was a bit of a butterfly and a magpie.

Even the cerebral characters I play seem to have physical quirks. They're all "physically inhabited," for lack off a better expression. For instance, Sherlock Holmes has very particular physical gestures which are drawn out in such detail.

Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn't a child actor brat; I didn't travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.

My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.
