At drama school, I was always playing the 11-year-old boys.

I've got like a weird bond with horses. I'm kind of a horse whisperer, I don't know what it is. I'm not great on a horse. I'm getting better, but I'm not brilliant. So yeah, I've spent a lot of time with horses. They're great creatures, I love them. I do love riding them when I get the chance to.

I've always been a bit of a self-doubter, I think a lot of actors are. I still am.

I love acting and I know that's a cliché, but I didn't really, I was very naïve when it came to the whole being recognized thing.

You know that thing when you break up with someone and you’re walking around the town where you both live and you’re just really hoping to see them? You know that you’re not supposed to see them, but there’s nothing you want more.

Politics is a game and a profession. It doesn't really serve the people the politicians are supposed to serve.

I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.
