I'm so used to taping myself and sending it off and never hearing back. I started to believe that nobody actually ever sees my tapes, apart from my agent.

I'd love to do more independent films.

I'm getting more selective, the more I do. As an actor, you want to do a variety of things, but first and foremost, it's the script, the quality of the script and the part. If the script is great and it's a part that I believe and I believe the world, that's rarer than you think.

I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well.

As much as Id love to be a successful actor, the thought of being recognised in the street is petrifying.

I'm selfish when it comes to work. I'm like, "Oh, that will be fun! I wanna do that!" I never think beyond my participation in a project.

Like anything, you've gotta find the humanity in the characters.
