“Upper class to me means you are either born into wealth or you’re Royalty.”

When you’re a kid, ‘Star Trek’ is a slower burn. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it – which is its universal appeal, I think.

I never really got obsessed about one thing for long. I was a bit of a butterfly and a magpie.

It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.

I think I’ve had very knee-jerk emotional reactions to things, and sometimes I’ve said things without thinking. Being overly emotional clouded my judgment.

I’m excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

I’m not very geeky. I’m quite homespun. I would say I’m more modern rustic than gadget-orientated. I like woollen things and log fires and whiskey

When you freefall for 7,000 feet it doesn’t feel like you’re falling: it feels like you’re floating, a bit like scuba diving.

I’m very excited about all the offers and interest and support pouring in through crowd-funding, and about having a lovely gap coming up when I’ll finally be able to sit down with books and scripts and talk to my partners about how we take the company forward.

I was always performing, doing silly voices. The teachers realized I could go one of two ways: be creative or destructive.
