I try not to be too optimistic or pessimistic. If you're a pessimist then that's depressing all the time; if you're an optimist and things don't work out then that's depressing, too.

I won't eat veal, and my mum won't eat lamb, because she thinks it's a bit harsh to eat cute things.

I've got a really great family round me, two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody's equal.

I think interviews can be fine. It's just there's this terrible fear of coming off wrongly or saying something that gets taken out of context.

Anybody who has a problem with 'Skins' obviously doesn't understand teenage life.

I'm not too vain - I sometimes take pride in my appearance, but I stick to the rule never to spend longer than a girl getting ready.

I just want to be a better actor. You can always get better.
