Actor

I had dreams of winning Olivier Awards.

I like dogs, I just don't choose to spend time with them.

I've got Colin Firth's number in my phone!

I want to play real characters rather than young leads in very plotty things. I want variety.

I didn't go to drama school to be a musical theatre performer. I enjoyed it, but I didn't go to do that; I went to be an actor.

People always say 'humbling,' but I actually think it's quite inflating being nominated for an award. It's wonderful; it's a great feeling.

I'm a working actor. I don't make my own work, so it's the opportunities that are presented to me.

I'm into books - I love literature, so I toyed with the idea of being an English teacher. I had a fantastic English teacher at school. I think great English teachers make the world go round.

I love singing as much as I love acting.

The Strokes are one of my favorite bands... And there's this band called Future Islands that I love.

I want to play real characters rather than young leads in very plotty things. I want variety.

For an actor to have the chance to go and play something that's far away from yourself, physically and also in terms of personality, character, is so much fun.

I get cast as a lot of sympathetic characters. I'd like to play someone really unpleasant.

I don't know if I'm quite grizzly enough. My facial hair is still very thin and patchy. I feel someone who plays Wolverine potentially needs testosterone in abundance.

I completely get the drag thing.

That's the joy of making a movie: watching all the elements come together.

I'm not interested in being Franchise Boy.

I used to draw and make plastic figurines and watch 'Wallace and Gromit' films.

I want to surprise people and do different things and maybe do something that's not quite financially rewarding.
