Ashley Thomas

My dad's a worker, an electrician, a bog standard job. Nothing glamorous like a footballer, but yet he still provided me with what I needed.

I want to take on more diverse roles, and I keep building, and I hope to one day write or direct something. But I just want to keep developing as a person, and that will hopefully take my acting to the next level.

Whatever the download thing has done to the game, you as an artist can get yourself out there to the masses, off your own back.

I started out doing the acting, and there was always an interest in music, and then the music just took off.

I have been offered roles in other things, so it's just about making sure I make my decisions wisely because I don't really want to be typecast.

I've grown up listening to Gorillaz, so for me to, like, be asked to be on the album is an honour.

I'm not a rude boy; I'm my own thing.

I don't think I'd want to concentrate on just acting because I love music, and things are going really well, so I think I will always continue to make music.

I loved studying the Medieval world; that's why I love 'Game of Thrones.'

Acting was always my passion, even before music, so I knew I was always heading down that path.

I'm never scared, so I don't watch horror movies. Back in the day, I was. I was scared of 'It' - you know, the one with the clown. That's the thing I found scariest in my life, but since then, not really - I don't watch them.

I haven't let anybody take me off my path or deter me in any way. It's about seeing an opportunity and taking it.
