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.

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

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

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 never went to stage school or anything like that. It was always plays, productions at school and things like that. The thing for me with acting was it was the only thing I could fully concentrate on. I loved playing sports. I didn't really love studying.

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

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.
