“It's important to be able to keep things fresh, no matter what age you are, or how many years you've been in the industry.”
“I grew up on a tiny little island.”
“I've learned that I've got to keep level-headed.”
“There's nothing like the buzz of live theater. You put it out there and receive an instant reaction: laughing, crying, yelling, applauding.”
“One of my favourite eateries is Beechers Cheese Shop, which does the most incredible toasties.”
“I love to sing random stuff. That's exciting for me.”
“I like to scare myself and throw myself off the deep end.”
“I think within what my job is, you always have to find a balance, because this job is also a life choice. You're traveling about; your hours are all over the place. If you're in a show, you're out every night.”
“I've always loved music and loved recording.”
“When I was growing up in the Isle of Man with ambitions of being a performer, I really wanted to go to see a Broadway show.”
“I love all things Christmas.”
“I'm pretty fit, and I do home workouts or yoga.”
“The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.”
“You don't realize how much you miss it until you get back onstage and feel that buzz.”
“I grew up on such a small island, and professional theater seemed so far away. I never, ever thought I'd get so lucky to be appearing in movies.”
“I love peas and can happily tuck into a big bowl, but my favourite vegetables are Brussels sprouts. I talk about them so much that my fans call themselves Sam's Sprouts.”
