We have flaws, things go wrong, people's hearts get broken, people make mistakes, people fall in love with other people. And that's hard, but that's also part of life.

As an actor, you can't play a flashback; you can't play someone's memory. You just have to play each circumstance as if it was real and understand that person's point of view.

The older I get, the more I dance like my dad, and I'm finding that suddenly cardigans are becoming more attractive to me.

Television is obviously changing; the way we consume media is changing, so I think it's natural that we are going to try different styles.

I think when YouTube first came out, everyone was thinking people were just going to watch five-minute shows from now on and that people didn't have the patience anymore to watch longer programmes.
