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 like the glamorous indie rock look, like The Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm.

I bite my nails. I've been chewing on them for years. As long as you don't chew through flesh it's all right.

I've got a clear line between work and real life.

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

I can't stand watching myself on TV.

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.
