I'm a big fan of British cinema; I think we make some unbelievably brilliant films, but they can quite often have a dark feel.

When I'm putting the character together I try to find music that I think fits the character.

If you can have a show that has quite strong morals and cover important themes but be able to put them out to a broad audience, that's an interesting thing.

Music was a big thing for me growing up and Scorsese and Tarantino both use music brilliantly in movies. They're probably two of the best at using music.

I want to go to the extremes and transformation is something I'm fascinated by. At the same time, you can transform but you can only really put what you've got inside you into somebody, so there's always going to be a degree of you inhabiting any role.

I really do consider myself quite fledgling in my acting career. I've only been doing it for 10 years and that's a short amount of time, really.

There are a lot of great young actors coming out of England who have maybe not gone to drama school, but I wish I had.
