“I’ve been broody since I was 12, but I can’t just get anyone pregnant. It has got to be the right person.”

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.

We should have a conversation when we hang up.

Actor is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven’t really experienced any of that. Everyone’s been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.

I got live tweeted once by someone who was opposite my home in some rented accommodation. He was actually describing on twitter what I was doing. ‘I took a shirt off, I went to the window, I put a shirt back on… ‘ And I’ve got blinds in my flat!

We all want to escape our circumstances, don’t we? Especially if you are an actor.

All the backstories are there but not talked about.

Do not ask directions from the people around you. Ask directions from the person who called you.

There’s a counter for every hold and a hold for every counter, and a lunch counter for every person that you know Schivone.

The person whose face is between your legs is gonna get lockjaw.

I am my own person. What I’m doing, I’m happy with it. I’m doing what I want to.

A person worth envying is a person who doesn’t envy

Advise persons never to engage in killing.

The person who has a highly evolved will they think, they build an image and they focus on that image.

I’m not an ungenerous person; I don’t resent it. It’s just sort of a head-scratcher.
