Actors Quotes

I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let’s face it, at the end of the day, I’m not that smart of a guy.

The percentage of people that go to drama college in the U.K. is probably just like anywhere in the world. It’s a very hard business to work in.
