“The art world can be very intimidating because it's just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you're never going to be able to catch up immediately, even though there's pressure to.”
Art“Religion leaves no room for human complexity.”

Art“I love coming home to somebody, I love being in a relationship.”
Home“Religion leaves no room for human complexity.”
Religion“If I was left to my own devices, you would see about ten T-shirts in rotation with maybe a few nice pairs of jeans - but I also like to look good. I like feeling really well put together, I just don't have the aptitude and the knowledge to do that.”
Knowledge“Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things.”
Society“As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you're always ultimately going to be saying somebody else's words. I don't think I'd have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.”
Poetry“I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest.”
Religion“I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.”
Dad“It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.”
Famous“I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.”
Death“I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.”
Experience“I have no idea how much money I've got.”
Money“It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true.”
Learning“I don't know what to do with it. I'm very fortunate to have it, and it gives you room to maneuver. But the main thing about having money is it means you don't have to worry about it. And that for me is a lovely thing. It's not for fast cars and hookers.”
Money“My dad's got a brilliant eye for scripts 'cos he's a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filter them.”
Dad“The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.”
Cool“I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I'm really bad at it. I'm just a terrible drawer. I can't draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can't draw a straight line.”
Art“The best thing I've learned is, if you're going out, never go out alone - you leave yourself vulnerable. If you've got someone else there you trust, they can say, be wary of that person. I probably used to be too trusting of people.”
Alone“England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.”
Home“I don't know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It's very much about the class structure.”
