I used to go to the supermarket dressed as Peter Pan when I was about five years old.

It was great to play an ex-marine cockney thug. All my roles are as different as the colours of the rainbow.

I love music, particularly Radiohead, TV on the Radio, The XX and Tribes - they're a great new band from Camden and well worth a look at.

Other actors dont get asked about their brothers or sisters, so why do I have to always answer questions about having a twin brother? I suppose its interesting for everybody other than me.

I've no grand designs to conquer the music industry, but I'd love to be able to tell my mates that I'm playing in a pub in Camden one night.

Maybe there's less oppression growing up in a small village, and fewer rules, and less danger.

A lot of my mates are actors and it's lovely to be able to work with friends.

When I was about 7 I fancied Anna Chlumsky; the girl from My Girl.

It's been too many years since I've played live as myself as opposed to in a fake band for a film.

If you think, 'I'm jumping out of a plane at 30,000 feet!' you're not going to do it. But if you just jump out, then you'll have an interesting ride.

London is full of creative people - you can never say that it's not.

When you are good at despising little things, you are likely to throw away the tiny match stick that has the potential of putting the entire forest on fire! Little things do carry heavy potentials!

I went back to my conversation with Siegfried that morning

I have enough muscle already. Now I want to use it in more efficient ways.

Okay. I picked up a movie to watch tonight. You can watch it with me if you like. It's a chick movie. Merri Lee said that means girls like it, not that there are small birds in it.

We have to uphold a free press and freedom of speech - because, in the end, lies and misinformation are no match for the truth.

Insecurities are about as useful as trying to put the pin back in the grenade.

Africa must take the first steps into modernity on its own. There must be a change in mentality. We have to stop perceiving ourselves as beggars.

I do really enjoy having a crowd of people out to see me. They really motivate me. I feel really lucky they've come down so I give it what I have got every time.

I don't think there's something that you have to 'get' with my music. It tends toward the dramatic side rather than the narrative.

What is it, I wonder, that makes two people suddenly become important to each other? So important that everything else around them just fades away?
