More quotes by Ed Speleers
I did listen to 1920s jazz or Al Johnson and a lot of early singers coming out of England. I would branch out a little bit to get a sense of the world that he might be coming into, in the '30s when jazz was changing.

My job isn't about pursuing fame and then becoming an actor. It's about becoming an actor and if fame follows suit, that's fine.
Ed Speleers
It's funny because growing up, when Ali G first burst off the screen, it was something that I was probably too young to be watching, but I absolutely loved it.
Ed Speleers
I like going to see live bands. Live bands can be quite heavy, but I think it's very relaxing at the same time because you feel so happy and chilled-out.
Ed Speleers
I don't think I'm ugly, but I never thought I was that special.
Ed Speleers
I've got to give my brother a lot of credit because he's always introduced me to a lot of things and those films spiked an interest of, Wow, this is an incredible world, how do you be a part of that? That definitely helped me through my school years of doing theater.
Ed Speleers
I never went to stage school or anything like that. It was always plays, productions at school and things like that. The thing for me with acting was it was the only thing I could fully concentrate on. I loved playing sports. I didn't really love studying.
Ed Speleers
There are a lot of great young actors coming out of England who have maybe not gone to drama school, but I wish I had.
Ed Speleers
If you can have a show that has quite strong morals and cover important themes but be able to put them out to a broad audience, that's an interesting thing.
Ed Speleers
I think I was shown Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas at seven or eight. That's really bad. I think I've turned out all right it didn't harm me too much.
Ed Speleers
I want to go to the extremes and transformation is something I'm fascinated by. At the same time, you can transform but you can only really put what you've got inside you into somebody, so there's always going to be a degree of you inhabiting any role.
Ed Speleers
What I like doing these days is spending more time with coaches because I think it's important to work on yourself.
Ed Speleers
Comedy is not something that had necessarily jumped out as something I'd immediately go for.
Ed Speleers
I really do consider myself quite fledgling in my acting career. I've only been doing it for 10 years and that's a short amount of time, really.
Ed Speleers
Music was a big thing for me growing up and Scorsese and Tarantino both use music brilliantly in movies. They're probably two of the best at using music.
Ed Speleers
There's a lot of content out there that's for an older audience but what struck me was that people who like those grittier, slightly punchier shows could still watch this but with their children as well.
Ed Speleers
When I'm putting the character together I try to find music that I think fits the character.
