Actor

I don't want to say I'll never play someone with a cockney accent, but I think I would be irritated by me doing it.

I'm not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I'm a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things.

Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.

As far as I can tell, most actors' main motivation is self-doubt and neuroses.

The most wonderful thing I hear is people coming up and saying 'Thank you for my childhood', which still blows my mind but is very sweet.

I've not got a girlfriend at the moment. Somebody said, 'Do you worry girls are just giving you attention because of who you are?' I was like, 'I'm 17, it's wonderful.'

I'm always amazed at the way some actors' behaviour is truly disgusting. That's one thing that will never happen on one of my sets if I ever direct.

I haven't always been thrilled with my work. But the fear of not proving the people wrong who think you can't emerge from a franchise and do well, that's a very strong driving force.

There's no shame in enjoying a quiet life. And that's been the realization of the past few years for me.

I don't know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. 'Treasure Island,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up.

I've been working since I was 9, and I've never known a life without a film set.

I want to prove to people that I'm an actor and not just a character.

There are two types of poets: People who write poetically about their lives, and poets that live poetically and write about it.

I mean I've seen 3D films so far and I think it's a long way to go before they replace actors. It's a funny thing with 3D, I haven't quite got it yet. Yet.

I take things in better when I'm allowed to talk, and respond, and engage and move around a bit.

When you're seventeen to early twenties, that's the time you're trying to work out who you are. If you're trying to make some kind of artistic or creative impact, that's the age when you start to figure out how to do that.

I'm also a fan of ridiculously coloured and patterned socks.

Every job I do, I like to think it makes me better or I learn things. It's all about how much something's going to stretch me or test me.

You have to find out who you are aside from what the media say you are. If you've become reliant on them for kind of a sense of self, then you're really screwed.

That's why I don't understand why actors become arrogant and are completely unapproachable - because as an actor, the most valuable thing you can do is talk to people and hear their stories, because it'll all come in handy.
