I like to stretch my acting muscles.

I can't act without music very well.

I want to prove that you don't have to come from Oxford University or Rada - and you don't have to have parents that support you - to succeed.

We're all living blinkered lives, and we're not seeing what's going on and looking to change it. I'm not saying that everyone has to make a political statement, but we need to be more aware of what's happening and why.

I think anybody who has been abused as a kid - and I was abused as a kid, by various people - will say it's irrational because violence is irrational.

The more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind.

I've been acting since I was a child, and though this was different in a way, I think I've been very blessed. The majority of the sets I've been on have been very inclusive and very empowering, and I've often chosen to work with people that sing from the same song sheet.
