I purposefully did not want to watch anything I've done so far; I actually don't like looking at my face, so I don't like watching myself on the screen. It's an insecurity thing I have.

I have to prove myself in a lot of ways - as an actor, as a person, as someone who can handle pressure.

I'm English. And I don't have tan skin or blond hair or green eyes.

I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.

I'm open to all the elements, I'm definitely ready to take anything on. But I don't want to jump too far into the deep end.

The reason I'm an actor is because I'll never be able to be perfect.

I keep in touch with what's real.
