I'd always been quite wary of doing a romantic comedy. They all seem the same to me.

When I was younger, I looked to actors like they were from another planet. You couldn't believe you could be anywhere near that world. It was exciting. I kind of like that.

'Upside Down' is a fantasy love story. It's about love at first sight - when you just fall in love instantly and will battle any obstacle to be with that girl.

I've always had real trouble knowing what my actual desires and goals are. I've just been dragged along by fate.

It's a terrifying thing to be perhaps 16 or 17 and feel like you are a failure and a has-been.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
