I'm certainly lucky to have got famous through something that was so well liked, generally speaking.

Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself.

I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.

The only thing I can think of is my favorite album at the moment by this guy called Father John Misty, and the album is called I Love You, Honeybear. It's just brilliant. It's the album I'm currently obsessed with. It is original, and the lyrics are fantastic and [it's] brilliant. So that's blowing me away.

A gay murder movie is never going to be, like, breaking box office records.

I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I'm English.

People tell me I look mournful. They say, "Cheer up, Dan, it's not that bad!" Sometimes, I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I'm a happy person.
