Harris Dickinson

“My personal style is kind of just how I feel; relaxed. But I'm into fashion - I think it plays an integral role within film, so having the privilege to go to certain shows and see the process behind them, to meet designers and see that whole journey, is impressive.”

“I had to do my CBT license to ride a motorbike.”

“I worked in a bar.”

“I always imagine myself in the Bond film as someone he encounters who's a bit dodgy. A villain would be nice, or Bond's dodgy cousin.”

“There's a misconception that you need to be serious, overly into the craft, into yourself. And that's not necessary, I don't think. You can be hardworking, diligent and also relaxed and fun and nice to everyone.”

“I realized that I found a lot of solace in performing and found parts of myself that I was perhaps too reluctant or too scared to go to... so I kind of fell in love with it from a young age.”

“I'm slowly becoming aware that you have to work hard. At times, it can be a bit emotionally straining. But then you have to let loose and take a step back. You're just acting.”

“I'm not capable of slapping on a quick professional facade. It's exhausting.”

“Film Twitter is a funny place. I often dip my toe into it. I'm entertained and horrified in equal measures.”

“I find comedy natural. I'm not saying I'm funny - I'm saying I'm silly.”

“I have this thing with red carpet premieres, where I go into shock. I seem very calm, but I'm not.”

“I think I have quite strong opinions on what I don't want to wear. And I'll say it; I can be quite upfront about it.”

“When I was younger, I was very independent.”

“I was conscious of being a British actor doing a ridiculous Brooklyn voice, so I toned it down.”

“Every time I went to the cinema or to the theater, I would come out with this overwhelming sense of joy.”

“I've always been open to exploring the pitfalls of masculinity, because there are a lot of them. Trying to create more discussion around that whilst creating stories leads to greater discussion, development, and discovery.”

“I guess I've never thought of the kind of actor I want to be as, like, a star. Stars for me have always been rock stars or people with this kind of grand public profile. But I guess you could also link it with connotations of success and acclaim. I mean, it's a weird one, isn't it?”

“I'm quite comfortable with my body.”

“If clothes can make you feel comfortable and stylish, then they've done their job.”

“I've said to a lot of directors: 'Please, I don't do well with praise.' I'd rather be told: 'That was rubbish.' Praise isn't constructive; it doesn't force you to be better. Praise is what you get at the end.”
