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.

I just want to keep working, really. I just want to keep acting. Playing one part for a very long time builds up in you a desire to play as many different things as you can.

There's no blueprint for where I should be. I see myself as a young, good actor who still has a lot to learn. There's nobody at any point in their career who is the finished article.

Acting is really instinctual and I think you can overanalyse what you're doing. A lot of it has to be based on instinct.

I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation.

I like the idea of being a youngish parent. So I've got energy to play football even though they'll be better than me by the time they're four.

I think I tried to steal a Mars bar once from a shop but then I went and put it back.
