“I remember being on this film once, and people said, 'You're not on Instagram or Facebook - what's your deal?' They said, 'In this industry, if you want to do well, people want to invest in who you are.' I said, 'I'm an actor, not a celebrity - they watch my acting, and hopefully that's enough.'”

“It's a relentless regime with 'Misfits.' I'm actually a little bit nervous of it, because I know it's going to be so tough to film, but we have a good crack at it.”

“I think it seems to be when I'm trusted, and someone just lets me have free rein - 'Do what you want, man' - that kind of confidence that directors instil in me always gets my best stuff out.”

“I remember going to the audition for 'Corrie.' I wasn't an actor - what they're often looking for in these rooms is a character, not what's on the page. They want to see what you are going to bring. So somehow, I got the job on 'Corrie.' For the first time in a while, someone really believed in me.”

“I'm from this working class town on the fringes of the rural aspects of Lancashire.”

“I really, really loved 'Preacher.' I can't wait to go back. It's one of the best times I've had filming.”

“I know how it feels to be the newbie.”

“I've got an awful memory, and I can't read or write, but you can read me a script once or twice, and I've got it.”

“I can barely use my iPhone. I can't do Facebook, can't do Twitter, can't do Instagram, none of it.”
