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

If you don't practice for three days, everyone will notice." It's something you have to really maintain. So unfortunately, I don't play it that often but I may take it up again. If you don't play for a while, you just can't hit the notes. It's like going to the gym. If you go and do weights, you can lift x amount of weight and if you don't go for ages, you've gotta start again and start from the beginning. So it's a bit like that. It's just a muscle.

I knew I wanted to do something creative. I am dyslexic, so I really struggled in school. I knew I was never going to sit behind a desk or do something involving numbers.

When I do go to L.A., it is usually for a reason - to meet with a director or something - but I'm always so happy to go back to London.

Each character you play has its own set of characteristics, for want of a better word.

As an actor, Hollywood would be a horrible place to go if you weren't actually invited.

I think it's more important to seek the truth than to try and be perfect, to be honest.
