I guess I'm always drawn to the underbelly of someone, really, as opposed to how heroic they are. I don't judge those sorts of people.
Ever since the commercial smash that was 'The Full Monty', we've always made films about underdogs. It's something that embodies Britishness and that sense of community and people punching above their weight.
I'm a very placid human being. I don't want to kill anyone. I guess I have played a lot of bad people in my career, so frustrations or angst can come out in any given role.
I'd describe 'Born to Kill' as a 'study in psychopathy', it's very much in the heads of our main protagonist, Sam, a young boy dealing with dark, twisted psychotic desires. It's also a coming-of-age story.
I'm just drawn to something that has a good story. 'Outcasts' didn't do so well, but I really admired the premise behind the show.
Before filming I'll be constantly thinking about my role at the back of my mind and slowly build up the intensity until I can explode on set. There is a very fine line between not quite getting there, and getting that bit too intense.
A lot of the work I've done has been about being very raw and open with your emotions.
I went to stage school, I went to Rada, I've been in this London bubble for as long as I can remember, which is involved with being as inclusive and accepting of any people from different countries, different walks of life, different religion - that's who I am.
Kids have got such active imaginations and they're scared of so many different things.
My older brother's a cricket groundsman, my other brother's a salesman, and my younger brother's a trader in the City.
When I was 13, I was a member of a women's over-40s tap class.
You see kids leave drama school who are drop-dead gorgeous and they just go stratospheric instant'aneously.
To a degree... you wanna make your way in the industry, so you kind of get what you're given at first.
I couldn't believe how big Ben Affleck's trailer was. It was like a spaceship - I remember thinking, I'd live in that.
I eat porridge all week, but Sundays are for something more exciting. I make a mean fry-up - to be honest that's pretty much all I can cook.
I've become a lot more politicised because of Brexit.
Sundays are a day for recuperation and family.
My son and I discovered Parkland Walk with the Beavers, a gem of a trail from Highgate to Finsbury Park in north London.
Yeah, it's every parent's worst nightmare, to lose connection with your children, to not fully engage with them or have an understanding of what crowd of people they're mixing with, what they are watching online.
God, I've played a lot of policeman.
