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.

There's a lot of content out there that's for an older audience but what struck me was that people who like those grittier, slightly punchier shows could still watch this but with their children as well.

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've always loved [acting] and I've always wanted to [do it] from as far back as I can remember.

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.

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.
