You do get used to the ups and downs, the rejection of auditions and not getting parts, and so when you do get a job, it feels really special, and you try to hold onto it for as long as you can.

My family runs a little art gallery back in Cornwall, so flashy cars and things like that have never really been particularly interesting to me.

I hear stories of kids trying to swipe left or right on books - we have to rein that back a bit and not become drones ourselves. The more we embrace it, the more machine-like we risk becoming.

I think great art comes from being open and creative with somebody, and of course, if feelings start getting involved in that, it can either make things fantastic or really messy.

There's nothing better than live music, I think.

I feel people can relate to the struggling artist a little more sometimes than the big million-dollar country stars.

My love of music has been ever-growing, and to live in Music City - I don't want to live anywhere else.

I'd love to do a collaboration with an Ellie Goulding or a female English artist - Laura Marling or something. Somebody cool that I could have a good vibe with and maybe sing a duet with.

I love goofing off and being awkward. I have always enjoyed improv.

I love working with Chris Carmack - he's a really, really good friend of mine.

If you break up with a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you're in this vulnerable state where you're still kind of half in the relationship with them, but you're single, and it takes a while to feel solid in yourself again.

The entertainment industry, in particular, is all about communication and being aware of what's going on, which can take over an actor's life.
