By the time I was 14, I was about six foot. I remember going into auditions, and they'd look at how tall I was and say, 'Well, you're taller than the lead actor, so there's no way we can cast you.

After Skins I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.

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

Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and theyll look at me like theyre trying to think where they know me from.

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

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

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.
