'Villain' is such a harsh word.

I grew up with it. As a young actor, I was always aware of the brilliant work of Shakespeare. We studied Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth in school. As a young actor, you're always mystified and intrigued by such brilliant work. To actually have the chance to be involved in this production was a wonderful thing for me.

I don't want to do something where I play a kid in a school. And I don't understand these spoof movies.

I don't think musicals are my thing. I'm not a big fan. Definitely have to get on the stage and do something like a straight play.

When I need to think of, like, a peaceful scene or something, I think of my back garden in summertime. And whenever I hear the lawnmower next door, I always think it's really peaceful.

I can pretty much live without fast food. I haven't eaten McDonald's in so long, but it's okay.

Music gets inside you, music captures you. Music becomes your heartbeat. It’s a drug and makes you feel whatever the song’s about.
