I am a nerd, but I don't dive head-first into any fiefdom of nerdiness, except for maybe 'Star Trek.'

I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.

When I was 15 or 16 - I slept really well then. Now I sleep on a bed of anxiety-tipped nails.

As I get older, I want to do more films for kids because they're the best audience around. Just putting a smile on a kid's face is the best thing.

I've never worked as hard as when I was at drama school. It's the most professional environment I've ever been in.

I'm probably more dangerous in a car than I am on a motorbike; on a bike I'm very mindful of the fact that if you make a mistake you're dead.

I don't know why I get cast in a lot of period pieces. Stephen Fry told me that I had a face for period, that I look like someone from 1920.
