I hate people saying anything stupid. I don't really suffer fools very well at all. When people are acting like idiots, not that I'm not guilty of doing the odd idiotic thing myself from time to time, but when people say stupid things, it stresses me out. ↗

Acting is something that I always wanted, but I never paid attention to the notion that it might actually work out. You have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do - at one stage, I wanted to be a jockey - but this is the one that's a big deal. ↗

I'm disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It's become so much about personality. ↗

If my mum thinks I'm acting like a diva she'll soon tell me off... She'll cut me down to size! ↗

Acting is fun for me and it doesn't really matter how, whether it's hard work or easy work, it's always fun. ↗
