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.

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

I don't think I'm ugly, but I never thought I was that special.

It's funny because growing up, when Ali G first burst off the screen, it was something that I was probably too young to be watching, but I absolutely loved it.

What I like doing these days is spending more time with coaches because I think it's important to work on yourself.

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'm not good at just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, hoping that the perfect role is going to turn up.
