Don't do piracy. Piracy is a crime.

My older movies, I find easier to watch.

My theory. Music can fix anything. Anything.

A kid actor to an adult actor is a tricky one.

I don't like to look for anything in particular.

For every role you get, there are five roles that you don't.

I've pretty much always had the same haircut my entire life.

Talking to people and hearing their stories, you learn a lot.

I've always played games. I've been brought up around gaming.

I'm very optimistic. I'm happy-go-lucky, I guess. I try to be.

I've never done a horror movie, like a full-on gore slasher film.

I don't really have any dream roles. It's just things, which come up.

My little sister, who is four, can work my mom's iPhone better than she can.

I think having a character piece is great. It will challenge you and be different.

Some advice to you guys, don't ever take keep your phone in your pocket whilst on a roller coaster.

I don't like to set myself goals because then you might fail to reach them. I just go with the flow.

I think I'm good at playing dramatic and serious roles, but it's not necessarily what I want to keep doing.

I've played a worrying number of orphans, children who have been abandoned or had something terrible happen to them.

I'm a pretty normal person outside of the film world. It doesn't really affect me when I'm at school or with my mates.

I play a lot of strategy games and team and reactionary games. So it's a different sort of skill that you're practicing.

When things don't go your way, you brush it aside and carry on. Don't take what you have for granted. Enjoy what you have.

Doing something different, doing something original is always fun because there is a lot of creativity that comes with it.

I like science fiction. I am quite a technologically kind of up-to-date person. I like seeing what the new developments are.

I can clap really fast. I can beatbox. I can type the alphabet in under 2 seconds. That's probably the one I'm most proud of.

The whole celebrity culture is super weird, but I'm part of it for some reason, and you kind of have to be as an actor to be successful.

I already had a lot of friends at school who didn't care about the whole acting thing, so there was no reason for me to not be in school.

Doing things that allow you to learn something are great and I love when you have an opportunity to discover a whole new part of the world.

I like to keep my options very open and try not to focus on trying to get something. That's just how I'm playing it and it's worked so far.

People think when you're moving in Zero-G, it's like moving in jelly. But it's not. You're completely free to move however fast as you want.

When you have a book as material as it is, it's a lot easier to create a character because you have so many resources to draw upon when acting.

I watched films growing up, but no more than the next guy, really. Working on 'Hugo' made me appreciate cinema and the art of cinema a lot more.

I think I can speak for a lot of people in that they would be pretty nervous about meeting Harrison Ford, and I was definitely one of those people.

Whilst I've got these opportunities, and whilst I still love doing it, acting is something I can see myself continuing forever until I get bored of it.

To have that normality to come back to, to totally relax and not have to deal with a lot of the pressure that's put on young actors makes it a lot easier.

I don't really like scary movies. I mean, I didn't as a kid, but I think I got a bit better now. I've been easing myself into it, starting off with the less spooky ones.

It wasn't until I did 'Hugo' where I sort of started to think that this could be something that I do for a long time - not necessarily the rest of my life, but we'll see.

When you're acting, you do have to prepare yourself for doing that. You have to leave behind - or you try and leave behind - anything that's going on in your personal life.

I think it's always difficult no matter how similar your characters are to yourself to get into that mindset, because however much they are similar to you, they're not you.

I do photography and I studied film at school. So I've always really enjoyed that and I've got an eye for camera angles I guess. I've never taken that into filming wildlife.

I like to keep a broad scope and read lots of different things with lots of different types of characters. Doing that is going to help develop me as an actor; you push yourself.

I never wanted to be home-schooled. I didn't like the idea of being home-schooled. It would only separate myself even further from the real world, and that's never what I wanted.

As an actor, depending on who you are, you might be stopped on the street and might not get all the privacy you want, but I'd rather have that than no human connection whatsoever.

The most exciting thing in England is a pigeon or foxes, which isn't very interesting to watch because everyone knows what they do. But I've taken pictures of them. Just for practice.

I'd really likely to shoot wildlife documentaries. I watched so many of those as a child, and I'm quite into wildlife and love photography as well, so that's something I'd like to do.

I work and come home and just have a type of normal home life. It's what I've always wanted. I've never felt like I'm pressured into doing something and that I've got loads of responsibility.

I managed to stay grounded and when I wasn't working, I was hanging out with my friends so I was still able to be a kid and have that part of my life. I didn't let acting take over completely.

I would go back to school after working on a movie, and it didn't feel I missed anything, like I had been away. I did mature pretty quickly, though, but I still sound pretty immature sometimes.

That was the most important thing to me: making sure 'Gardner Elliot' was likeable and funny and interesting. I took my time before filming to chat with Peter, the director, to create this character.

When you're working in the industry, and you're working with people who are well known and are so regarded, you do just pick up on things. Talking to people and hearing their stories, you learn a lot.

I still get star-struck by people like Harrison Ford, but I think it's become more natural and more a part of my life. You have to be professional and keep a straight face. You can squeal behind their backs.
