I always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.

The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.

I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.

I'm English and I'm used to coming from a world of period dramas, where there's a very polite restraint to everything. Everybody's sort of sitting in drawing rooms.

If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.

I live in London and I love living in a gun free environment and long may it continue.

I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
