I read mostly poetry.

You use your emotions to try and find them in the character that you're playing.

If you don't travel the world and see as much of it as you can - see different characters in different situations - then how are you going to learn? I figured the best way to do that was to explore as much as I could.

It's very hard to do that many things at the same time - having to dance and sing and be on a horse with a sword. It does get quite confusing.

It's nice to invest yourself fully in whatever you're doing... I think it's best to try and give everything you've got; otherwise, what's the point?

The next big push in my life is trying to get poetry popular again.

You see people in different situations behaving in very different ways. That can only benefit you as an actor.

As an actor, it's so, so rewarding and so pleasing to not be reprimanded.

I started - well, in England it works a little bit differently. You have to do Fringe theatre, which is basically free theatre. You do it in pubs and small theaters and village halls across the country, and you work for a theatre company. You're part of a troupe.

I think there are always people that you meet in your life that scare you a little, but not because of the terror in their eyes so much as their unpredictability.
