“I’m always looking for something that’s versatile from the last.”

Something like making the NIT would have been a great way to showcase the season we had.

I don’t go online, I don’t read reviews, I try not to look at anything on the Internet.

I don’t really know what the dream role would be. That’s a hard question to answer. You never really know, until you’re immersed into something, how passionate you feel for it and how it unravels.

I haven’t got any friends from where I grew up, but that’s not to do with fame.

The buzz you get when you’re playing a song and everyone is screaming and dancing and what have you and singing along is incredible.

I can’t think of anything worse than trying to schmooze someone with the idea that you’re an actor.

The thing about travelling is that you work hard and play hard, but you can do all those things without your parents knowing.

I was lucky enough, when I was younger, to have the chance to do as much as possible, and I found what I wanted to do. I did swimming, gymnastics, kickboxing and the one that took off more than the others was acting.

I don’t like to be me. I’m not so comfortable being me on screen because then I’d be a presenter. I’m not Jimmy Fallon.

Anyone who’s got a guitar, you like to pick it up. I can play a couple of songs, some ’50s rock and roll, a bit of Elvis. That’s it, really – I’m not a musician, I’m not a singer.

It’s great when talented people in the world, in the same business, can see your work and compliment you on what you’re doing and take a strong interest in your movements in your career.

I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.

I’m constantly trying to find something that’s different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That’s not for me.

I grew up in the ’90s. I listened to a lot of The Clash, Velvet Underground and Roxy Music. I wasn’t into Boyzone, or anything.

I was always told at school that you had to have a back-up plan, but all I ever wanted to do was act. There was no plan B for me.

There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who’s driving it.

Nothing made by brute force lasts.

People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn’t hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me.

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.

I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.

In the last analysis, it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions that life puts to us.

You’re only as good as your last haircut.

The Assembly has witnessed over the last weeks how historical truth is established; once an allegation has been repeated a few times.

I had slumps that lasted into the winter.
