As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.

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.

I watch a film and the most important thing to me is what I think of the movie.

There's not a big gun culture in England at all still.

I was not a very fearful kid, really.

I'm the git in the family.

For some people, an event happens and they are thrown into a tabloid feeding ground.
