I do tend to divide my childhood into darkness and light, and the first seven years were certainly the darkness.

I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang.

I never go anywhere without my iPod.

There's a kind of unwritten rule: Don't say anything at all, and everything will be fine. It's a producer's medium. The directors aren't there to make any decisions. They're not going to change anything.

Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.

I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.

I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
