I think the best advice I'd say to any actor when you do comedy is play it straight.
When you do children's TV or one episode [guest] stuff, you have to listen, which is also a great thing to learn. But you don't have individual input.
That's part of this industry. It's hard a lot of the time, especially when you get knocked down a lot. There's a lot of criticism and it's always in the back of your mind that you may never work again.
I'm going to Queen Mary's [university] in East London and I am trying to juggle it. Sometimes, it's really hard.
With 'Submarin', Richard [Ayoade] gave us a lot of freedom and he really helped us. He's so amazing. It really changed things for me and brought my love for filming and working with people to a completely different level. It really was a wonderful experience.
When I'm filming something, I quite forget that it's all still got to come together and be edited. I'm so engrossed in trying to do the best I can on a day to day basis that I forget that people will see it and judge it.
Of course, you're always going to be biased but Submarine was amazing and I'm not surprised that people liked it.
Don't strive to be perfect. Strive for excellence.
I don't believe anyone really likes paint, unless he's tempted to eat it.
That which makes us go so far for love is that we never think that we might have need of anything besides that which we love.
Write your own songs. It helps you to mean what you're singing, which will then make it mean something to listeners.
