I think that if youve got 5 million people that enjoy drama and invest in characters, you must take the time to not worry about your job and getting sacked and just go for it and hit it again.

If you fall in love with someone, it doesnt matter who they are. Ive had lots of girlfriends who werent in the public eye. It is hard, all the intrusion: you have a row with someone, and even though youve sorted everything out, you get the are-they-going-to-split headlines for the next ten days.

As an actor, you've got to maintain a bit of mystery and at least part of your private life, otherwise the game is up.

I appreciate some people enjoy reality TV and enjoy being a part of it - and I do watch it - but it isn't for me.

I hardly ever go to showbiz parties, it's not my style. That doesn't mean to say I don't have a good time. I love hanging out with mates.

If I were a chocolate I'd eat myself. Seriously, we're all interested in ourselves and what other people are saying about us to some extent.

When I reach puberty I'm definitely going to grow a beard.
