I'll eat anything. I ate antelope once in Swaziland. I didn't know what it was until I'd started chewing it. Everything tastes like chicken though doesn't it? It wasn't bad.
When you're on TV and in people's houses - it's great that anybody watches anything you've done, but you feel as though you're being watched by Big Brother sometimes. Even if people have no idea who you are, you get the feeling you're being watched.
I don't mind my eyebrows. They add... something to me. I wouldn't say they were my best feature, though. People tell me they like my eyes. They distract from the eyebrows.
I'm not scared of growing up, but it just happens, doesn't it?
Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and they'll look at me like they're trying to think where they know me from.
Hugh's just a geezer, a great laugh - although he is a bit corrupting. But he did get me interested in golf and cricket and snooker.
There was definitely some of me in Marcus - apart from the haircut. Definitely not the haircut. But, like him, I was quite withdrawn, and acting helped me come out of my shell.
That's the main thing, looking for interesting characters, good directors, and experiences where you're growing and learning.
I'm not one of those people who's saying "I'm going to set up a production company", because I like acting and not having to be a business man and do that side of things.
I'm not too vain - I sometimes take pride in my appearance, but I stick to the rule never to spend longer than a girl getting ready.
I try not to read about myself. Why would reading about yourself be interesting? You're only going to be told you're doing a good job and get big headed about it, or be told you're rubbish and get down in the dumps. What's the point?
I don't like watching myself. I get embarrassed.
If you're out, and starving, and need a bite to eat, then you need fast food.
I won't eat veal, and my mum won't eat lamb, because she thinks it's a bit harsh to eat cute things.
