I've inherited the bad poetry genes, but not the inventor genes.

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

It's very difficult to say anything in Icelandic. I can say "takk," which means "thank you." That's about all I learned.

You don't want to seem too eager, too romantic - otherwise, it just looks a bit try-hard. But I do think that a first date should be intimate. So I'd choose a nice dinner somewhere cozy, not too crowded, with good wine.

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.

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

I wear quite fitted clothing. I don't like wearing baggy stuff.
