I've got an awful memory, and I can't read or write, but you can read me a script once or twice, and I've got it.

I really, really loved 'Preacher.' I can't wait to go back. It's one of the best times I've had filming.

I was a bad kid. I was a really naughty kid. I couldn't read or write. And that was me punishment - going to acting school.

I've been on the telly for a long while. I've never saved any money or anything. I'm not one of those people.

I remember being on this film once, and people said, 'You're not on Instagram or Facebook - what's your deal?' They said, 'In this industry, if you want to do well, people want to invest in who you are.' I said, 'I'm an actor, not a celebrity - they watch my acting, and hopefully that's enough.'

I remember being with my mum eating marmalade on toast watching 'Inspector Gadget,' 'Sharky and George,' 'The Pink Panther,' and 'Thundercats,' stuff like that. Those were the days - no idea how brutal the world is.

I might live in the woods, but I am a lazy actor.

I have no intention of making vampires cool. Absolutely not. They're not cool.

It's a very working-class thing, to get where you want and then not feel worthy.

I don't want to be a sexy vampire.

I love New York: it reminds me a bit of London.

On 'This Is England,' everyone is mates. The nice thing is that when you watch us, you're watching a gang. They're young, and they're adventurous. There's a real closeness there.
