I think it's quite limiting to do a soap.
I auditioned for the role of Jamie Mitchell in 'EastEnders,' and it was between me and Jack Ryder, and he got it.
'Doctor Who' would be overnight fame that would last for three years, and then what? I'm in this for the long term.
I get letters and messages on Twitter saying I've become a bit of a role model, which is wonderful.
I grew up in Essex, and all my life I wanted to live in London - now I do. I feel very privileged to be able to live here.
I still feel I'm going to wake up any moment, and my skin's going to break out all over.
I love my personal life and having a social life. And I didn't ever want to have to compromise.
I'm not a romantic lead. I have sticking-out ears and a little troll nose.
I loved 'Star Wars'. I had the toys.
If I hadn't gone into acting, then I would have perhaps become an animator.
I've been so involved with TV shows, I've been unavailable for films, which is my dream.
I'd love the career of Julie Walters. As a man.
I sort of challenge people's perceptions of what a gay man is, which is kinda good.
I'm not a controversial person. I'm not trying to polarise people.
I'd actually quite like to try working behind a bar for a while. I'd give that a go.
You can be cocky and confident, but when you start developing feelings for someone, suddenly your self-esteem drops a bit.
I love musicals - that's probably one of my most gay traits that's one of my giveaways!
I think if I met Frank Auerbach or Jeff Koons, I'd be more wobbly than if I met Robert De Niro!
