Douglas Booth

I love art. My sister is an artist and my mother is a painter, so it is very much in the family. I haven't ever wanted to be a fine artist myself - my sister robbed me of my artistic talent, I think.

I am huge water sports fan. I love to jet ski, speedboat, water ski. So I love to get away to somewhere sunny and just get on the water and have some fun with some friends.

I remember someone saying to my mom that it must be so glamorous to have a child acting in movies. They had no idea how hard it was for her.

I am undependable. You might get gritty contemporary with one book, science fiction, magical realism, or high fantasy with another.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

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