A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre-record, you don't have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.

Steve Coogan does something for me. He is so naughty, but I quite fancy him.

I'm reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it's like my little friend - it takes my mind off things.

I see that things are getting made a lot faster for less money and there are a lot less opportunity, I think, for actors. There's not a lot of work in the U.K. I mean, that's why everyone's moving to America because that's where the work seems to be. But it definitely feels like a lot more of a slog to get a gig these days. I suppose that's a lot to do with our current climate and financial messes. I certainly see that people seem to have to work harder with a lot less time.

Yeah, I fancy women big time... I check them out more than I check men out. Maybe I would want to sleep with a woman... Not Beyonce, although I like the look of her, I don't think she's that dirty.

I am thinking about those things now. More so than all my friends - they're a lot older than me, but they're not even thinking about babies.

I was freakishly ambitious. I didn't want to be a child. I wanted my own flat, to work and be a grown up.
