I'd really likely to shoot wildlife documentaries. I watched so many of those as a child, and I'm quite into wildlife and love photography as well, so that's something I'd like to do.

When you're working in the industry, and you're working with people who are well known and are so regarded, you do just pick up on things. Talking to people and hearing their stories, you learn a lot.

I don't look for anything in particular, like a particular genre. It's all very much to do with the quality of the script and the character as well.

I did a film, 'X+Y', in which I played somebody on the autistic spectrum. It's a subject I didn't know very much about, but being an actor gives yourself the opportunity to really immerse yourself in that world and learn things. It's one of the great things about what I do.

When you have a book as material as it is, it's a lot easier to create a character because you have so many resources to draw upon when acting.

People think when you're moving in Zero-G, it's like moving in jelly. But it's not. You're completely free to move however fast as you want.

I always think that trying to push yourself as an actor in a direction that you've never been before, developing characters which are more difficult to get into the head of, or are more interesting and further away from yourself, is always a challenge. But, you want to take up that challenge and try your best.

I think I can speak for a lot of people in that they would be pretty nervous about meeting Harrison Ford, and I was definitely one of those people.

My little sister, who is four, can work my mom's iPhone better than she can.

I watched films growing up, but no more than the next guy, really. Working on 'Hugo' made me appreciate cinema and the art of cinema a lot more.

I never wanted to be home-schooled. I didn't like the idea of being home-schooled.

I already had a lot of friends at school who didn't care about the whole acting thing, so there was no reason for me to not be in school.

I've never done a horror movie, like a full-on gore slasher film.

I don't really like scary movies. I mean, I didn't as a kid, but I think I got a bit better now. I've been easing myself into it, starting off with the less spooky ones.

When you're acting, you do have to prepare yourself for doing that. You have to leave behind - or you try and leave behind - anything that's going on in your personal life.

You might only get three takes to do a scene; sometimes it takes longer than that to find those moments.

I think having a character piece is great. It will challenge you and be different.

I'm a pretty normal person outside of the film world. It doesn't really affect me when I'm at school or with my mates.

It wasn't until I did 'Hugo' where I sort of started to think that this could be something that I do for a long time - not necessarily the rest of my life, but we'll see.

To have that normality to come back to, to totally relax and not have to deal with a lot of the pressure that's put on young actors makes it a lot easier.
