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.

I'm awkward around girls.

Wherever the good work is I'll go.

I remember when I first came to America and I saw posters for TV shows and I was like, "What?! Why does a television show deserve space on a billboard?"

I think it was the sense that Turn is a spy thriller, and that's a genre that really fascinates me, in general.

I think documentary filmmaking is a braver way to make films because it's real, and you're really there.

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