“There was one moment when I was in L.A., and he was teaching me a move. I just looked at him, thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m being taught to wrestle by Dwayne Johnson. What the hell?’”

You are hugely responsible for people following you. You need to work out why you are posting, what the message is, and what you are doing to these people.

I always did a lot of singing and dancing, so I am glad it worked out that way. I would like to study stage acting at some point, though.

The fact that I’ve been nominated for a BAFTA is insane.

If people are noticing the hard work I’m doing, then that’s a wonderful thing.

I used to reenact ‘Titanic’ all the time.

In ‘Fighting With My Family,’ there’s a scene where I have to wrestle; I have to do the famous fight between Paige and AJ Lee.

Amazing, obviously. She’s been my idol since I re-enacted ‘Titanic’ and fell in love with Leo. And it’s a privilege to be called the next anything. But I suppose to be the next you is all you can do.

I grew up in a very loud family where you had to fight to get your voice heard, in a good way.

What we don’t realise when we watch a normal film is how many times someone has run in just before a shot quickly to wipe away that sweaty moustache.

Wearing a corset is extremely uncomfortable.

During the Me Too breakthrough, I was hanging out with Emma Thompson and Emily Watson – two people I’ve looked up to my entire life. Talking to those women was so empowering.

The Falling’ was a big, flashy, bizarre experience. I kept on saying at the time it was a fluke because I did the audition, and I didn’t think anything would come of it.

America has to act. But, when America acts, other nations accuse us of being ‘hegemonistic’, of engaging in ‘unilateralism’, of behaving as if we’re the only nation on earth that counts. We are.

In the human heart new passions are forever being born; the overthrow of one almost always means the rise of another.

Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can’t quite name.

The longest journey is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest for the source of his being.

The notion of getting pleasure from food has gone too far; we can also get pleasure from anticipating a meal, and from not being quite sated.

The world is being run by irresponsible spoiled brats.

You really need to stop Googling yourself and start being an artist.

Being a success in the world, having total control of one’s life, is about being able to take or leave things.
