When were you happiest?
When I was 15 or 16 - I slept really well then. Now I sleep on a bed of anxiety-tipped nails.

The Devil really puts the wind up me.

Mitől félsz a legjobban?

What was your most embarrassing moment?
I was nominated for a comedy award. It was for Shameless in which I think I was the only character not to get a laugh. I was up against Catherine Tate and the like, and felt like an impostor. When the camera did the nominees shot, I thought, "I need to be funny", and pulled a face. It was one of the most ugly I've ever seen. Needless to say, I did not win.

Mi volt életed legkínosabb pillanata?
Jelölt voltam a Shameless-beli alakításomért, amiben szerintem én voltam az egyetlen szereplő, aki egyáltalán nem volt vicces. Catherine Tate volt az ellenfelem, és csalónak éreztem magam. Amikor a kamera minkett vett, gondoltam " viccesnek kell lennem" és pofákat vágtam. A lehető legbénábbra sikeredett. gondolom említenem sem kell, nem nyertem.
