The joy of being a chameleon on stage is that you can be anything, and yet you're not any of those things as well.

No, I'm not too worried about type casting.
I don't think you necessarily fall in love with a sexuality, I think you fall in love with a person.
I know how lucky I am, and I am aware that I have to fight the perception that I am also a spoiled brat.
I have learned already that you have to work against people's perception as they want to box you in very quickly.
Everybody who I've spoken to who was conscious when 'Queer as Folk' went out says it was a complete game-changer. It completely changed people's perception of young, gay men especially.
No one with a bad tie is getting my vote. Some Lib Dems wear the most shockingly awful ties.
I was brought up in a bubble to an extent.
Dad's mother and aunt were actresses.
I love the energy of Islington, the variety of things you can see, taste and buy, the number of young people around you all moving and bustling - yet it still feels like a village, a community.
I was drawn to gay parts because of their scripts, what the roles offered.
I want to prove that I can be a success without standing on the shoulders of my family.
All you ever want as an actor is to play psychologically complex, interesting characters and Jeremy Bamber is at the very least that.
I suppose what I look for most in a part, other than it being different than the part before, is: Does he interest me? Will I have fun getting to know him and, to a greater or lesser degree, physically embodying him?
I do want people to think of me as an actor, not just a posh actor who does posh parts.
I think each generation struggles with its own set of problems.
We're into a world where we're not talking about gay or straight or bisexual any more so much as we're talking about being transgender or identifying as a woman if you're a man.
As actors, you live in doubt; that's one of the truths of the particular job.
When I first looked at 'Travesties,' I thought, 'I don't know what to make of the first page of this, let alone 80 pages.' But I just thought, 'Well, I'll go along for the audition because I love all the people involved.'
Umm, I used to stink-bomb peoples' letterboxes on the weekends when their newspapers were delivered.
If I don't shave I look like a peach with fuzz on it - not a good look.
It gets me, physical comedy. There's nothing better than it.
My favourite film is 'Tootsie.' I suppose that's because it's very much about my industry and I love all the jokes, albeit a slightly bygone age of the 1980s, a world that I really understand.
Now, I don't think I'd particularly care if somebody criticised me for having got to a certain level of success because I'm Ed Fox's and Joanna David's son. I know that's not true.
I wanted to be a director of photography for a while, because I'm fascinated by what they do. You're made to look good by them and you can learn so much from talking to them.
People balk at the fact that I've played loads of gay characters. Maybe I have, but you know what? It doesn't matter.
I was obsessive and made my parents take me to the hairdressers way more often than I needed to.
I think as an actor you've got to try to preserve some of your mystery so that there's still an element of surprise about where characters come from.
So often gay characters, particular those portrayed in an era where gayness was something of a taboo and a statement about 'who I am and no one's going to trample me down,' are more colourful and interesting - and for an actor, that's enticing.
There'll probably be moments in my life where it seems that people will want to camp out on my doorstep, and moments when no one wants to hire me and couldn't be less interested. I've been around the circus, and it'll come and go.
I am delighted to be working with Guy Ritchie on 'King Arthur,' who's been a boyhood hero of mine ever since 'Lock, Stock' and 'Snatch.'
I love being on film sets even if I'm not acting in the film, and I'm fascinated by the work of the director of photography.
Dad hates London.
The Dorset coast, where I spent my childhood, is a gorgeous place to run. I love to explore and revisit places like the cliffs at Kimmeridge Bay and the abandoned village of Tyneham.
On every job you learn, on every job you should be looking to learn and every decision you make on the jobs you take, they should always try in some way, even if not in a huge way, they should in some way stretch you.
I don't really approach any part in any particular way. I tend to get an instinct on the way I want to do it, depending on that role.
My love of running developed when I got older. At school it filled me with dread and the idea of running around the sports pitches struck me with a nameless fear.
At drama school we were encouraged to keep fit and healthy, but not to bulk out. We were told to stay lithe to allow our bodies to morph when we're playing various parts. Running is ideal for this, especially when I needed a lean look for the Channel 4 drama 'Cucumber.'
It's part of my job as an actor to look after myself. Your appearance is crucial.
I used to read 'Dennis' in the Beano when I went to have my hair cut.
I've always wanted to work with Dad.
Who's ready for anything when they're 21?
Costume is always the first layer of armour for going into battle in a new acting job.
I adore clothes. More importantly, I admire people who dress well.
I want to have a very definite style that people recognise as being 'Fred Fox.'
I love a good suit, and when I see photographs of myself in a jacket that doesn't fit me quite right or the sleeves are too long, it drives me insane.
My dad did a wonderful feat of memory and storytelling by taking T S Eliot's 'Four Quartets' on the road in a one-man show.
I think it's dangerous being cynical because you close doors rather than open them.
I'm not easily wound up, but overly cynical people irritate me.
I wouldn't wish to go 'I am this or I am tha'because at some time in my life, yes I've had girlfriends, but I might fall in love with a man.
