Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't become an actor. If perhaps I'd stayed on at university and become an academic.

I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was growing up, really. So when I decided to go to university instead of drama school, it was with the intention of becoming an actor afterwards.

I think the education I've had as an actor I would never have had at university.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

I was at college studying psychology, philosophy, textiles and drama. But because I wasn't one of those all-singing, all-dancing stage-school kids, I just assumed I'd never become an actor.

By the time I had finished my studies at St. Paul's School, I knew I wanted to be an actor.

I remember being in college knowing I didn't want to go anymore. I wanted to try and become an actor. There is a something in me, with a risk of sounding cliche, that I just had to do it. I knew from an early age that acting was my path.

I wanted to become an actor, but I didn't want to admit it.
