To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own.

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

I was a slightly melancholy child and I think films were a way of escaping for me.

A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.

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.

I think the work is always going to be much better when it's important and personal to you.

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.
