They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.

I think we can affect our own fates, but there's also a powerful energy that's the universe or God or whatever your unconscious recognizes that helps along your way.

My philosophy about the whole thing is that awards are like gifts: it's lovely to receive them, and it is very bad form to covet them.

I'm happy being an actor, it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just lucky I got to do it so early.

For me, obviously anything that reduces the amount of acting required and makes the process more of an experience, rather than having to synthesize, is incredibly helpful. There were definitely some hardships and some challenges, but eventually all of those hardships and challenges had a positive effect on the work.

I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.

I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon
