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 never really acted at school. It was doing small parts on TV that really got me started.

I have a younger brother.

I like to go to bed early so I can get up early.

When you're happy you don't always have to be laughing, and when you're sad you don't have to be crying; sometimes it's the opposite. You laugh when you're the most upset.

I think a lot of the time having someone who you, not base yourself on, but can see yourself being after a few years, you can get quite blinded by that, in the same way love can be.

There's never been a particular band that I've followed religiously. But I do tend to listen to sadder music.
