Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
I've been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I've suddenly realised it is one of life's joys.
Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.
Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it.
I realised quite early on that, although I wasn't trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
Lines are very difficult to learn.

I want to be able to play trailer-bound fatties in a Judd Apatow comedy.

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!
Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don't see beyond that.
It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think, 'Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.'
