I just want my music to be put out there, not shoved in peoples faces. I want to keep it relaxed.

There was so much great music around in the 60s, stuff like The Small Faces, but I also love The Jam.

Um, well my main profession is acting and music is what I love doing. It's kind of nice like that in a way because it means I'm under no real pressure with the music. I have got complete creative control and I can make whatever I want. So, that takes a lot of the pressures off because there's no financial pressure. And it's something I've always loved doing.

The music is mine. Theres nothing to hide behind. Thats where you see the real person.

When you're doing the same scene over and over, all day long, you need to keep your levels up for your own performance and for the other actors.

Weirdly, when I was in drama school my accent probably got stronger because of that sense of identity when you leave home and go to somewhere where there are loads of people from different places. Holding on to being Welsh and where I was from was a real crutch for me.

I wasn’t, you know, Mr Popular. I was somewhere in the middle ground. I was quite alternative, the things I liked to do. Skateboarding, at the time. Playing in a band as opposed to playing in the rugby team. You know, that kind of thing.
