It's funny because I think, as a general rule, that people seem to think that if you do lots of different things over the course of, like, a timeline, it means that you kind of disregard what you did before.

I had a very nice, cozy childhood. I did lots of plays at school and worked with the National Youth Theatre as a teenager.

There are lots of different strategies that an animal can use to survive. What a worm does is try to convert food into worms as soon as possible. In three days a single worm produces 300 progeny. So why put your resources into developing if you can make a brand-new worm in no time at all?

The strange thing is that since I've been offered lots of films I think that maybe they think that I've sold out to Hollywood. Which is not the case if anybody's listening.

When eating out while on tour, a great place to get vegetarian food is Thai restaurants, as they have lots of options.

Cancer cells have had so many other things go wrong with them, genetic, non-genetic changes, that those cells, one of the things they then get selected for is that they have lots of telomerase because now the telomeres in those cells get maintained.

Cancer didn't change me at all. I know lots of people talk about the life revelation. I didn't have that.

Yes, I'm obsessed with health, which has been an interesting journey. I went down the raw-food diet route, but got ill.

I enjoy acting now more than I ever have. I've had lots of difficult times when I was younger, but that was all tied up with thwarted ambition. It's hard being a young actor, because you don't realise until later that it's only ever about doing the work.

Reading and understanding the Bible involves lots and lots of interpretation. Not just in light of the world and culture around us, but in reference to other parts of the Bible.

I have lots of fans, they are mostly under the age of 12, boys and girls.

Lots of bumps and injuries along the way.
