You have to have chemistry - it's acting. I need to make people believe the rumba is about two people in love, and the tango is about passion.
I think anyone is lying if they say they don't want to win.
I'm a huge sun baby. As soon as the sun comes out, my smile gets bigger, so I'm constantly smiling in L.A. It's a fantastic place to be.
I'm very competitive, and I want to be known to do well.
I don't want to embarrass myself on TV!
I actually spoke to one of the heads of a studio, and he said I confuse middle America. Basically, when they see a black person, they see athlete, they see rapper, or they see criminal or something like that. And then when they hear a British accent, they hear posh, so they hear lawyer or doctor.
I joined 'Hollyoaks' because in the long-term, I thought it's good money, it's good profile, and everything happens in soaps!
I must have been 15 or 16 when I left Antrim Grammar, but I do remember having my first proper kiss when I lived there.
I'm a great believer in the idea that if it's meant to be, it will be.
I was something of a late bloomer.
I love L.A. I love America; it's fantastic. The people are friendly, and everyone's always smiling. The sun is always shining. My only problem is choosing what color shorts to wear.
I'm a big fan of old, classic American musclecars like a Shelby GT or the '69 Dodge Charger, cars that inspired me through my childhood. They used to get me real excited when I was a kid. To own one and actually be able to drive them in America is a little of a dream.
I'm not as stupid as some people think. I've got a degree in law.
I'd do whatever it takes to stay in California; maybe not L.A. because it's so crazy.
I'm just a big kid; I get excited. That's probably the one thing in life that I get really excited about is cars.
Blood must not have blood... I don't stand for anyone bullying bullies.
The Ricky that the public see, whether it be on screen as a character, in public, or on social media, is very outgoing, and I'm a bit of a class clown. Then those who are closest to me know that I can be very sensitive. I can be quite insecure about myself.
The best food I've had was actually in catering at 'Single Ladies.' It's insane. I can't live in Atlanta. In fact, even if I'm offered, I'm not sure I could come back for another six months, because I'll just be fat.
As actors, when you can't be in the room with the casting director or the producers, you put yourself on tape and send it off.
When you're younger, you do take things personally.
