In England we are sort of very awkward.

I'm a little bit of a geek - I have to be the first person to get new things when they come out. I always want to buy and try new gadgets.

There are a couple of carp fishing books I've been reading. I'm very interested in that line of books, because I think they write very well, carp anglers, about the general environment.

I'd rather play a character that was really, really different to me as to someone who is quite close to my character.

I took the original stuff that I read as standalone [in The Flash]. I didn't have anything to refer to, so to me it was all new. It's delightfully simple, the show, but it has many moving parts. It certainly makes you pay attention.

I like the dueling club scene, where Daniel and I fight with our wands. I thought it was a brilliant scene to shoot. I think the end product looked really good.

My mother is looking forward to it even more than me! I'll be showing her the bright lights of New York.
