I think I've always been kept grounded. I've never been too involved with the movie business apart from just doing the film. I've never moved out to LA like a lot of people or been too drawn in by that.

We live alone, we die alone. Everything else is just an illusion.

I guess you wouldn't dare to dream that you would get to the end of five years.

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

I guess I'm just a normal kid apart from the acting.

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.

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.
