I'm not consciously avoiding doing a lot of period drama, but I don't really seek it out either.

I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.

Whenever I'm in theatre situations I will go out of my way not to talk about my father, but in the film world I can be really proud of my family and say, 'You know what: my dad's a really, really famous theatre director,' because nobody has any idea.

I read everything. I've always got a book on the go and I'm really nerdy about it, I get through books and don't remember anything about them afterwards. But I read all sorts, from classic to contemporary.

I quite enjoy cooking but I'm not consistent. I can't follow the recipe book. If something goes well, I'll never make it again, which is completely stupid. It's a one-shot kind of deal.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be an actor. It has just always been an inevitability on some level.

No family is sane, is it?
