I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.

I feel like everyone's starting to isolate, and that proves itself in a big context like Brexit, and Donald Trump potentially, and putting walls up and stopping people coming in.

I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

I'm not very good at lying.

It's a good time for me, but it's only recently I've become comfortable in my job. At the start, it's hard having the nerve to call yourself an actor, let alone doing it. I gave myself two years after drama school, and if I didn't make it, then I'd give it up.

I was kind of overwhelmed by the idea that we are just balls of energy and that we have imposed terms on feelings.

I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.
