“I guess I’m just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.”

Something funny always happens in every show in the UK and I genuinely love touring the UK because it’s where I’m from. I just get a warm feeling when I’m home.

The smallest changes, like I stopped eating meat and I’ve been doing different kinds of exercise like Yoga and stuff like that, little changes have made me feel a bit more at peace I think.

You get to a certain age and you can’t judge yourself on your dad or your parents.

I was quite a weird kid because I didn’t like getting presents. I don’t know why. I just went for books all the time.
