I'm a hard-mouthed north-eastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.

I never realised that the Edinburgh skyline was so interesting - it's gothic and very urban and there's a lot of church spires and old brownstone buildings.

I think I have much more appreciation for directing and movies overall versus a performance or an actor. Their body of work is more interesting.

I look at my contemporaries, and we're all at different stages and levels, and all choosing different routes, different ways to do things.

I think everyone still thinks I'm 13.

As a kid I never had the impulse to climb anything. I think that most kids who live in small towns or rural areas outside of the city, that's what they do - climb walls, or trees, or whatever. To me, it was more dance classes and not being very boyish.

AMC is a fantastic network that does diverse programming, and does it at a really good level and of great quality.
