"I really liked 'Starter For Ten' because I grew up watching 1980s teen films like 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'The Breakfast Club' and I've always wanted to play the underdog lead hero in a 1980s-inspired film."

"I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn't like me. I guess I wasn't a certain type."

"I remember that it was never that difficult for me to get a director to look up and pay attention to me. Mind you, I don't know if that's necessarily charm. But I've played roles where my character has to be charming and I've found it quite easy to do. I think some of it is in my bones, but some of it is more deliberate."
Character
"I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am."
Being

I've not been very visible in the last year or so and as a result hardly anyone stops me in the street."
Celebrity
"I'd like to keep work work and life life. It means you've got your life to come back to, somewhere to come home to at night that isn't invaded by your day."
Home
"Next year, if no one gives me any work, that's fine. I'm not going to do well anyway. I'm not an actor, I'm just exploiting this industry."
Work
"I kind of embarked on a fruitless search to find information about my character, Frederick Aiken. And it was fruitless, unfortunately, because there's so little about him."
Character
"I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something."
