The great thing about literature is that you're making up your own interpretation of the character anyway. Also, you're given basically a bible of who a character is and you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot if you're not reading it.

I have an apartment back home in London. England will be home for me. It always has been and always will be. It's where my friends are.

I think there are times in life where you're automatically drawn to somebody and it's weird - you freak out a bit.

Being able to do lead roles in pictures or onstage or whatever it is that you're doing in acting is obviously what you strive for because you want to better yourself as an actor and you want to better yourself as a person as well. But that does come with a lot of responsibility and a great deal of weight.

I always had the idea that I wanted to perform. I love being the center of attention - and I always love talking about myself.

For me, it's interesting because I never thought of myself as an action man, but apparently I can do it, so that's good to know.

As an actor and as a performer, I'm very much aware of the fact that my job is to change both physically and emotionally and that was what hurt the most - the fact that people were judging me based on nothing.
