Sometimes a script comes along that really makes you sit up and pay attention... 'Life at These Speeds' has an emotional intensity that really kicked me in the guts.

I live by myself, which I love. In this industry, you're so often surrounded by people and busy and talking to people. It's kind of lovely when you get home to just chill out.

I live for challenges. In my career, all I want to do is try to challenge myself and have a varied career.

Going over to Lesvos in Greece and meeting some of these poor refugees who have just made the treacherous sea crossing opened my eyes in a way I can't even being to describe. It's put a fire in my belly to really try to do something, the little I can do.

As a kid, I used to run around our garden waving a stick and pretending to be a million different people. That's why I became an actor, really.

I grew up in London, and that's where I spend most of my time. Unless I have a really good reason not to be, I'll always be in London.

It's really important to take time for yourself because if you don't know what it is like to be a real person and spend time with a sense of normality, how can you play normal people in films?
