A lot of child actors keep acting for the wrong reasons.

That's the main thing, looking for interesting characters, good directors, and experiences where you're growing and learning.

I think all teenagers feel alone, and that nobody else knows what they are going through and all that sort of stuff.

As a kid, when you're in a film with somebody, you look up to them, you know?

Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention - phones, Internet - and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present.

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

I'm happy with my career and I'm not going to have the trouble of being typecast.
