I always feel kind of awkward when I look at pictures of myself. Watching videos of myself is really uncomfortable.

I think I was about 16 when I first figured I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be a fighter pilot before that, but then I thought I don’t want to kill people so that ruled that out.

People often find it surprising that actors find photo shoots difficult, because you’re very concerned about what’s going on externally in those things when you have to be concerned with what’s going on internally as an actor.

I know I haven’t done it. I’ve done a couple of films, which were intended to go straight up. Thankfully they didn’t. So now, I think that’s what I need to do. I just need to grow as an actor.

I was supposed to go up for something recently that was a six-year commitment, and I didn’t want to do it. It was a terrible part as well. I don’t want to be doing six years of something. I’d go crazy.

There are certain things that cut right to the bone, but as an actor you have to because you get turned down for things all the time. I have a friend who was told he didn’t get a job because he was too hairy. I’ve never heard anything that bad, but you have to get used to that sort of thing.

As a child I’d get given parts as a tree.

It’s a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you’re making.

Bullingdon would never go co-ed. I’m not going to give anything away, but there are a couple of girls involved in our story and it doesn’t end well for anyone.

Acting advice is a bit like your parents teaching you how to drive a car. You know they’re right, but you still kind of want them to shut up a bit.
