“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.”

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 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.

Life is more important than ‘what film I do next.

It’s funny because if you ever ask anyone in England to try and do a Beatles accent, no one knows what they really sound like. If you ask anyone in America, they would try and give it a go. English people just know their songs.

I knew the Beatles songs and how influential they are to other bands, but I’m not a fanatic, so I could look outside the box and observe.

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

I get on fine with my mum and dad, but if they want to see the grandchildren, they come to me.

He diffuses a tone and spirit of unity, that blends, and (as it were) fuses , each into each, by that synthetic and magical power, to which I would exclusively appropriate the name of Imagination.

I am constantly amazed by Tina Fey. And I am Tina Fey.

I am constantly amazed by man’s inhumanity to man.

The media owes the responsibility to constantly tell the public the truth.

I feel like the more I work on different songs and the more I work on my voice constantly…

The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

To be human and to be adult means constantly to be in the grip of opposing emotions, to have daily to reconcile apparently conflicting tensions. I want this, but need that. I cherish this, but I adore its opposite too.
