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.

People have interesting things to say and you're only going to learn from different people's experience and knowledge.

If I look at the people that I look up to, a lot of them don't come to the forefront until their early to mid-30s. I think the most exciting roles are definitely yet to come.

A lot of the time when you're doing your own work, it's all in your own head, which can be frustrating if you're prepping for something, especially an audition where it's all in your brain and you go in and no one else has seen it and you don't really know how it fits.

I can get quite down on myself because if people don't like what you're doing, it's hard.

I think I was shown Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas at seven or eight. That's really bad. I think I've turned out all right; it didn't harm me too much.

Comedy is not something that had necessarily jumped out as something I'd immediately go for.
