Attention gets you the opposite sex sometimes.

You know obviously a big TV or film break would be lovely, but I find that I’m essentially a theatre trained actor and that’s what I love doing. I love fringe theatres in London, I love theatres like the Royal Court, Soho and the National obviously and if I could work in any of those and be a jobbing actor for a while then I’m very lucky.

Like every actor, you get notorious for maybe one role and then get offered a lot of similar roles.

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 just don't know anything about fashion.

There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.
