I enjoy any type of physical transformation. I enjoy working with the hair and makeup department and I enjoy watching people be very good at their jobs.
There’s no blueprint for where I should be. I see myself as a young, good actor who still has a lot to learn. There’s nobody at any point in their career who is the finished article.
I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I’m really bad at it. I’m just a terrible drawer. I can’t draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can’t draw a straight line.
I don’t really care about how I look.
The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.
Stage is much more intimidating than going before the cameras, because you can really screw up, and can’t do a retake.
I get constantly mistaken for Elijah Wood. I was in Japan and someone held out a photo of him for me to sign.
In my experience of doing physical scenes, half of your energy is spent on trying to get the other actor to enter into it physically with you. Most actors don’t want to hurt each other.
Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.
There’s never enough time to do nothing!
I definitely think that theatre is something I’ll keep coming back to in my career for as long as I can. I also think theatre’s something you have to be very fit to do. I am fairly fit, but I don’t think I could do it all the time.
A gay murder movie is never going to be, like, breaking box office records.
Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things.
If you’re having a bad day, get on with your job, because you having a bad day can affect everyone around you.
I have described myself as being ‘gently eccentric.’
I still have issues around forgetting that it’s my life and if I want to do something, I can do it.
A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I’m not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It’s not fun for me. There’s nothing entertaining about watching a film like that.
There are two types of poets: People who write poetically about their lives, and poets that live poetically and write about it.
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.
This is only going to add fuel to the fire that I’m gay. I don’t really care. I’m so past the point of caring. I really don’t. But I looked fantastic in Fleur’s outfit!
