Sometimes I can spend months doing things to make sure that my instincts work correctly, but ultimately it's still instinctive.

I try and avoid thinking of strategy and I tend to stick to my gun of doing things that I like and try to avoid things that I "should" be doing, and stay true to that.

I'm very nerdy about my music, and I like interrogating people about what they put on playlists.

I would say that maybe directors who act as well are easier with actors. I'm not saying that all directors have this, but sometimes you'll come across a director who sort of looks at an actor a bit like a kind of untrained horse that's been let out of the stable, like they might buck him.

I don't want to make vast generalizations about people who go into legal professions, but there are similarities in the barristers that I met and interacted with, in the sense that they tend to be highly eloquent, highly analytical, thinking people who have a very rapid-fire think-before-they-speak button, as it were.

When I was 22, I thought I couldn't wear heels because of my height.

I always look for contradiction in a character.
