I went to boarding school at seven and cried and cried.

If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they're the more dangerous lies to come to terms with.

Actors make bad lovers. Their most important kiss is for the camera. Not in a superficial way, in a really deep way. They can only give everything if they know someone is going to shout cut!

I can't think of anything worse than being brought up by two gay dads.

My idea of a holiday was following my family up the hill with my pekinese, who would skip over the heather in front of me.

A lot of straight actors are actively searching for gay roles because it is something different to do.

Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.
