I think overall - and I think you need this as an actor - I’ve got a keen sense of empathy, sometimes I almost worry too much about how people feel, like when I get off the bus and there’s a zebra crossing right there, I don’t want to inconvenience anyone so I keep walking further down to more traffic (Laughs). I think if you’re always able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes then that’s the key to acting. (x)
