As a child I'd get given parts as a tree.

It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.

I think there was a bit of brotherly love, but I think everything has a motive when you're king. It's all about maintaining that power - securing that power - and I think Edward was very skillful at doing that. I think he was a great king. Opinions are split, if you look at what he's done and written about him.

For me, comfort is paramount.

I've got my dad's height and smoking habit. But I think I've got my mum's looks and sensibilities.

People say 'follow in the footsteps' but I always find that a strange expression because what you want to do is forge your own path, so to speak.

I know I haven't done it. I've done a couple of films, which were intended to go straight up. Thankfully they didn't. So now, I think that's what I need to do. I just need to grow as an actor.
