“I don’t want to miss things.”

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.

Honestly, it’s very satisfying, and I’m very, very happy about how successful the last few years have been… It’s great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I’m enjoying now.

I want to be better at staying connected.

Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn’t a child actor brat; I didn’t travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.

I wasn’t born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.

I’m a high-functioning sociopath, do your research.

I’m not an overnight success. I’ve been doing it for 12 years. It’s been lovely and varied so far.

We look at science as the ultimate answer for everything yet we are really messy organisms and when the two collide in the upper echelons of medicine you think science will prevail but it’s not always that way.

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.

One of the best things about being an actor is that it’s a meritocracy.

Maybe it’s just getting older, but I don’t want to miss things.

Not that i had a big arse but even that was toned.
