Don't get too set on becoming an actor at an early age. I think that's where some people get into trouble. Acting becomes their life. I don't want that.

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

Cinema Paradiso' is a fantastic film, I love that.

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

I'm pretty rubbish, as we say in Britain, artwise, and I always envy people who can pick up something and even do just a little doodle of someone that looks vaguely like them. It's impressive.

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.

For every different role you play it's nice to have different challenges for each one.
