“I've always found it hard to do what I'm told - I'm not very good at conforming.”

“I can be rather obsessive - especially when it comes to breaking through to the next level as an actor.”

“As an actor, I've been taught to just stay with your scene partner, and whatever they do, let it affect you, be spontaneous.”

“I've been to the Met Ball and the Tonys, but Cannes is particularly huge. Every time at these big events, it's just - whoa. Because at the end of the day, I'm a guy from Devonshire who grew up on a farm who loves his dog.”

“Darren Criss is a legend.”

“I've grown as an actor. I am more confident within my art form. I have also grown as a person. I am more compassionate, generous, and less judgmental.”

“At school, I had to work really hard to get a D in maths. And I wasn't slacking off; I actually did work quite hard.”

“I spent the first seven years of my life in a caravan traveling around Europe and the United States because my parents were just obsessed with traveling.”

“I might not have been academically gifted - I was bad at maths, and science was a struggle - but I was good at English literature and became hooked on theatre.”

“Coming out of Juilliard, I honestly was expecting and willing to be breaking my neck, hustling, and being unemployed for a decade, two decades. I was gritting my teeth, but I was so down to do that.”

“I'm very good at reading people - and very bad at math.”

“I don't like doing things that are easy!”

“I think controversy is an interesting thing in that it usually goes hand in hand with starting conversations that surround taboo or under-discussed topics that need to be discussed and need to be less in the shadows, in my opinion.”

“Be less afraid to be different.”

“We all feel at some point of our lives that we're different, that we don't fit in.”

“When I entered normal school, it was hard for me to adjust sometimes. I was so unused to just sitting down in a classroom and copying off the board - simple things.”

“It was always my dream to live in New York.”

“I'm not good at picking people up, I'd rather just get to know someone. I'm not an 'opening line' kind of guy; it's not really my scene. But at school, I was good at talking to girls. I wasn't good at making moves, though.”
