I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing - especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.

I'm an actor. That's what I'm gifted at. It's what makes me breathe.

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.

I believe it is my duty as a performer to raise issues in the world of things we're afraid to look at.

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.

I don't get the point in a lot of biopics, they're boring. You know what's gonna happen. You're just watching actors show off.
