Aaron Johnson

I get on fine with my mum and dad, but if they want to see the grandchildren, they come to me.

I'm constantly trying to find something that's different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That's not for me.

I was always told at school that you had to have a back-up plan, but all I ever wanted to do was act. There was no plan B for me.

I'm thankful I don't have parents that I feel I need to get their attention. They've always been there for me.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.
