I love to dance and dance all night long.

I dreamt of being an actor ever since I was young.

For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think, 'I should be reading these five scripts.'

It's better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen.

I like to wake up late, around 11 A.M., especially if I have been out the night before. Then I go to brunch with either my friends or my girlfriend. I then like to just chill out: read the papers, read some scripts and then take it very easy. If it's sunny, I go for a walk with my dog, Niles, in the countryside. Show less «

I was lucky enough to get a very good agent at the age of 15, and got my first film when I was 16, so it's been rolling on since then.

The negative about acting is that you have to spend a great deal of time away from your friends and loved ones, but it's not like working a 9-5 job and only having two or three weeks off a year. I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly. Show less «

One of the biggest things I used to struggle with was about things like going on holiday. Whereas all your friends can talk about something and plan something all year long, I know that I'm probably going to be away and I'm going to miss all of it. If a job comes up, you just can't be there. Show less «

It was such a thrill to be 17 years old and standing on a stage dressed as Boy George - wearing his actual clothes from the 1980s. He told me, "We're gonna be friends for life now!" and I truly hope that we are. Show less «
