It's always a bit overwhelming when you arrive on set and everyone's new, but you soon become a big family. I find the hardest thing about acting is that you have to say goodbye to everyone at the end of a shoot.

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

My mum always says work goes in waves: you have a good spell and then it dips.

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

I manage to live pretty normally.

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

I don't like watching myself. I get embarrassed.
