Freddie Fox

“I enjoyed throwing the toys out of the pram, although not in a petulant way.”

“On every job you learn, on every job you should be looking to learn and every decision you make on the jobs you take, they should always try in some way, even if not in a huge way, they should in some way stretch you.”

“I'm not easily wound up, but overly cynical people irritate me.”

“Most of the independent films I've been involved with all had European subsidy or co-production agreements.”

“My favourite film is 'Tootsie.' I suppose that's because it's very much about my industry and I love all the jokes, albeit a slightly bygone age of the 1980s, a world that I really understand.”

“People want to see me as a posh square, so I'll play an East End drag queen or a young man with a cleft palate.”

“I love the energy of Islington, the variety of things you can see, taste and buy, the number of young people around you all moving and bustling - yet it still feels like a village, a community.”

“I didn't really enter into the real world until I was probably at drama school.”

“I am a better cook now than I used to be.”

“I want to have a very definite style that people recognise as being 'Fred Fox.'”

“There'll probably be moments in my life where it seems that people will want to camp out on my doorstep, and moments when no one wants to hire me and couldn't be less interested. I've been around the circus, and it'll come and go.”

“I love a good suit, and when I see photographs of myself in a jacket that doesn't fit me quite right or the sleeves are too long, it drives me insane.”

“Some people cannot stand up in front of people and talk, and I can - I think that's something you don't learn; you're born with it.”

“I've always wanted to work with Dad.”

“I used to read 'Dennis' in the Beano when I went to have my hair cut.”

“I want to prove that I can be a success without standing on the shoulders of my family.”

“It's part of my job as an actor to look after myself. Your appearance is crucial.”

“My love of running developed when I got older. At school it filled me with dread and the idea of running around the sports pitches struck me with a nameless fear.”

“I don't think you necessarily fall in love with a sexuality, I think you fall in love with a person.”

“It would be silly for me to say I'll only ever love women. That would be crazy.”
