I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.

My preference will always be theatre because it's where my heart lies and it's what I started with and eventually I want to direct it. It's where my real interest is. But I just love trying out new stuff. Acting for me isn't just for me about being in front of a camera ... it's so much more than that. It's always about telling a story and there are so many ways of doing that, so I'll always want to try something else.

Never in my short career, I've never had that experience where I wasn't sure if I was acting or if it was real.

It's a surreal thing because you are there and made up and dressed up as if you're making the film. You do the scene, which is going to be in the film, and I met him [Daniel Craig] and I'm working with the director, and so it is different to just a normal audition.

I was born with lots of deformities.

I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.

I think when you write an enigmatic character into a film, you have to have real confidence that the audience are going to go with it.
