Will Poulter

“For one thing, there is no guarantee that I am even going to work again. I hope I will and will go on to have a long career.”

“If I could be something other than an actor, I'd be a chef; I've got a big interest in food. I'm a proper fan boy.”

“Somehow I got a place at Bristol University. I'm still waiting for the phone call to say that they made a mistake and got the wrong person.”

“I love student life, but I also loved, from a young age, being in a working environment where you are treated as an adult.”

“Kissing scenes are never romantic or sexy. They're actually super technical, like, 'Move your head; you're blocking her light,' or, 'Stop looking like an idiot when you kiss her.'”

“I am the biggest Kanye and Jay Z fan.”

“One of the challenges obviously with doing an accent from a time period early in history is that there aren't recordings. You would never really get the opportunity to hear exactly what you were shooting for.”

“I first read 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' when I was a kid. And I think it was read to me. Me and my sister both had a copy and loved the books.”

“I always wanted to play a 'Batman' villain; that was a big one for me. I may have missed the boat, but I always wanted to do that.”

“The will to challenge myself is strong, but I think that's growing, the desire to stretch myself and make it hard.”

“I just like the prospect of playing lots of different types of characters and just the opportunity to challenge yourself, do something different and surprise people.”

“I think I'm slightly OCD. I'll be desperate to get a part, but as soon as I do, the sense of pride wears off almost immediately, and fear of not doing a good job sets in. I'll think, 'This is a dream come true,' and then, 'It's not OK until I get a good review.'”

“Working with people like Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis is such a blessing because I've watched them a great deal. I grew up with 'Friends' and always aspired to work with someone from that cast. Jason is just such an amazing comedian.”

“Confidence is the greatest gift for an actor.”

“I joined the after-school club, School of Comedy, which progressed wildly, and in quite a Hollywood way. It sounds like 'School of Rock', right up to trying to raise money to pay for a venue in Edinburgh.”

“Everyone in New York wants to move to London, and everyone in London wants to live in New York. A few people want to live in L.A., but I'll never understand that. It's too much for me.”

“I've always found that I have to audition, but that's a process that I kind of enjoy. I enjoy the challenge, and 'We're The Millers' was the same. It was a long audition process that I had to go through, but I enjoyed the challenge of that.”

“I come from this bubble in life - I come from a great family and went to a nice school, and I have friends, and life is pretty rosy.”

“I was lucky that I had friends who have maintained a very regular attitude with me and haven't changed how they interact with me.”

“I think for anybody, regardless of what industry you work in, when you get a new job, and it's progressive in terms of your career, that is one of the best feelings in the world.”
