My mom and dad put my brother and sister through university and they were very keen for us to have an academic background just to give us a chance.

Sometimes people can be guilty of not working at relationships and if it's not working, oof, that's it.

I think because of my background - I went through university and did an academic career and fell into acting - I've never had a game plan for my career because I got into it quite ad hoc.

I’m quite flirtatious with anyone. Some people, because I’m playing a gay character, get quite nervous. And I have to reassure them. I’m like, ‘I’m not gay. I’m not coming on to you. Yet.’

There's definitely a wave of Brits doing great work on American television, and I wouldn't mind being one of them!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who watched and tuned in and loved my evil gayness.

Because youve done the horrible jobs, it gives you an even grittier determination to succeed.
