What I love about the gay thing is that every single person I type into Google, it doesn't matter if it's Florence Welch, anybody, if you are not being called gay you don't have a career. That's my theory!

I think one of my favorite things to do is just lock myself up in a small room and listen to music and watch films for a day. Also I just like seeing my friends. We have pizza parties which means I get four friends round, we eat a pizza and we're really lazy and we play PlayStation.

What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.

For ages, in my lunch hours, I would just go round and choreograph fight scenes. For fun. So now I'm very good at being thrown around. I bounce, in the words of my friends.

I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.

I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.

If I die on a film set when I'm 80, I'll be happy with that.
