I was quite naughty at school. I was always in the back of the class messing about with the Bunsen burner rather than paying attention.

After 'The Way Back,' which was so epic and so rich, it was like, 'What will I do now?'

I'm drawn to cinema, especially when you're on a project that feels like it's going to be a challenge.

I moved to Manchester to join a band and ended up getting into acting, and I moved back to London to become an actor and ended up joining a band.

The amount of work that a for-profit has to do to get real money is minimal compared to the amount of work it takes a non-profit to get even a very small grant.

I go, and I do my work, and I try to do the best I can, and I collect my money, and I go home, and then I go on to the next thing. That's my attitude.

In Irish law, busking is considered vagrancy - you can be arrested for it. It's risky asking people for money in public. So it's not like it's a high-art job. And people who do it as a high-art job make very little money.

Money has no grey areas. You either make it or you lose it.
