There's nothing more exciting for an actor than a chance to lose, to be someone who has lost - especially if it's someone who starts off with a veneer of control. To be broken is wonderful.

I've never directed before, so I need to make sure that people know that I can. The movie that I've written, 'The Sophisticates,' is a... small ensemble comedy and I hope it's charming and funny.

As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally.

Since being quite young, I've had a very strong sense of independence and survival. As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally.

I have a playlist of farts on my phone.

As a teenager I was clinically depressed. Although I had lots of friends, I found those years very difficult.

I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared.
