It was great to do August Rush and have all the challenges of playing that character, especially the American accent for the first time and also playing the guitar and the conducting I had to do.

It's very nice having my mum as my agent. You know that she's always doing what's best for you.

I'm sure everyone has many types of music that they enjoy.

I've got a good family to support me, so I'm grounded in that way.

I don't go home and pretend I'm August rather than just the actual lines I'm saying in the film. If you do it that way, it makes it more natural and second nature. After awhile you get used to it and there's so much, especially being in New York to film; you're always surrounded by American people.

I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that's sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script.

I like hot weather. I think it might be a bit better if England was a bit hotter.
