I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning $10 a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

You feel quite strangely secure [doing any kind of series]. It's the opposite of how you're supposed to feel doing a movie.

All of my favourite actors are American and I grew up watching American movies. It's weird, but I used to do a New Jersey accent in every audition in the States just because I liked to do it, really. It's completely bizarre. Everybody would ask: 'Where are you from?' And I would say, 'Oh, I'm from London.'

I don't know how many more of these awards I can come up for because I think a little bit is coming out of my pants right now.

I hate people who cry around me. I'm not friends with them anymore. Especially girls. Cuz girls are crying all the time. It's like, 'Shut up.'

It makes me feel like working non-stop: at least, on sets, the level of security gives me a bit of privacy. It's a relief.

I see love as an evolution of true friendship.
