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.

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.

As you're growing up, it's odd, because directors don't expect you to grow up. They think you'll be young forever, but as an actor, there is an awkward period when you're too young for old or too old for young, and it can be an odd time.

I don't think parents always know where their children are going or what they are doing, what they are up to.

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

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

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