“Drama schools are very small community, a very incestuous community, so you get to know one another very, very quickly and it just washes over after a while. Every now and then I’ll say “dude” or I’ll say “bro,” and people will laugh.”

Sometimes I find myself at three o’clock in the morning painting something and throwing things around and seeing what works. I’d like to properly study fine art. I think it would be quite an interesting endeavor.

A lot of times, when you’re seeing something that you’ve done, you’re thinking about the experience you had making it, not about the experience of the product.

Whatever the genre of film you’re doing and whatever the source material is, you have to adapt to the different genre, but it’s the same work, as an actor. You’re just trying to ground it in reality and find your truth in it.

I like charcoal drawing a lot. I’m not very good, but I always find myself buying canvases and paints whenever I’m on location, because I always have this ambition to fill the hotel room I’m in and turn it into an art studio.

When you’re doing a play, you don’t always have a practical world that you’re working off of. You have to create it for yourself.

I’m a total luddite when it comes to technology. Pretending I know how to use a computer is a challenge.

I actually find in America, there’s a slight snobbery about actors who go back and forth between big heavy dramas and popcorn fare. That always intrigues me, because that doesn’t exist in the same way in Britain. And I imagine it would be worse.

In my first year at drama school, I did this kids’ show called ‘Let’s See.

I’m a natural born show off. I love performing, and at school we had a really good music scene and an even better drama scene.

Divorce transforms habit into drama.

I was never part of that cliquey girl drama. Most of my friends were guys growing up, so I was never part of that whole toxic energy. It seemed like way too much hassle.

What’s interesting to me is drama and conflict. Things aren’t interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict – or striving towards a resolutions of conflict.

If you can reincarnate, what do you wanna be in your next life? I think I want to become a rock.

I’ve never had formal drama-school training; I’ve just picked things up as I’ve gone along.
