As an actor, or as a person, I like to do things that are challenging.

I was neurotic and weird from an early age.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

The condition of my skin changes often, depending on the season or if I'm traveling a lot.

I use mainly products by Dermalogica. They have specialized formulas to target specific skin needs, which I like. It works well for my sensitive skin.

In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In 'Robin Hood', you have more artistic license - it's all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable.

It's nice to bring the changes with everything you do. As an actor, that's what you want to do, all the time.
