I love to dance and dance all night long.

I dreamt of being an actor ever since I was young.

I've always had a social awareness. My favorite channel on TV is BBC News 24. For a while, I had to have it on repeat in my house. I've always been interested in what's going on in the world.

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.

One of the biggest things I used to struggle with was about things like going on holiday. Whereas all your friends can talk about something and plan something all year long, I know that I'm probably going to be away and I'm going to miss all of it. If a job comes up, you just can't be there.

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

I fell in love at 14 and I remember that mad, tense feeling and all the mad things you do for the person - all those extremes and all the stuff you don't mind putting up with.
