There tends to be a jealousy in England towards countries that are successful.

People in England talk about stupid Hollywood idiots, but the industry attracts some of the cleverest people in the world.

Put it this way: singing is not my day job.

Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.

When I was about 13 I realised girls weren't going to kiss me because I was a gigantic, weird looking creature from the depths. I was like 6 ft. aged 11.

I don’t know if I’d do an action movie because I don’t know if I could keep a straight face honestly, I just think it’s so silly. Like I love watching them but I can’t imagine me doing one. Actually, you know what I’ve done, just for fun because I didn’t think there was any way that I could be in a superhero movie, so I’ve done a scene in the new “Thor” movie, just for that. I just do like one scene, which was quite fun.

I'm a huge, huge believer in love. Huge!
