Johnny Flynn

I did a lot of theater as a young actor in my early twenties, and my first few records really came from writing songs through the rehearsal processes.

We had no money, my dad was out of work a lot, and we never owned a house. It was very hand-to-mouth.

I can't remember a 'best gig,' and my brain doesn't work in absolute terms like that.

A lot of the work I've done has involved playing quite sympathetic characters.

As a jobbing actor or musician, you have to take any work you can get.
