People who have car collections - I never understood that. I always thought that was unnecessary. It's not beautiful, it's not creative. It's just showing how much money you've got.

I want to prove to people that I'm an actor and not just a character.

I don't know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It's very much about the class structure.

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

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

Realizing that other people have a problem with [homosexuality] was the weirdest thing for me. As a kid it wasn't even something that was mentioned. It was never something that was even explained to me. It was just, "That's Mark and he's gay." Mark was just another friend of my dad's who would talk about his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend. I was 5. I didn't care. It seemed perfectly normal, and still does.

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