There's nothing nicer than coming back to your village, where people like my mum's friends take the mick out of me. I prefer that to the craziness of Hollywood.

I think camping is one of those things where if you're forced into it as a child, you'll probably hate it as an adult.

If a horse doesn't want to do something, you're not going to make him do it. They're incredibly powerful animals.

If you go into acting to make money then you're an idiot. It's my hobby and the fact that I'm doing my hobby for a job is mental.

Nearly every taping or audition has to be in an American accent, so you don't have a choice; you just have to get good at it.
