I feel character description from a book can mislead you and actually make you fall off course when you’re representing a character using a script. – Will Poulter
Drama is what I’m really obsessed by. It’s what gets me up in the morning, what I live for. But I’ll always have a love for comedy because it was my first opportunity, and I associate it with my best friends, who I made during ‘School of Comedy’. – Will Poulter
I don’t think Tom Hardy has an actual voice of his own. Except maybe the one in ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ as Bane. – Will Poulter
Cara Delevingne and I took an eyebrow selfie. We both have prominent eyebrows, but hers are much better than mine. Maybe we should do a swap. – Will Poulter
There’s no other industry in the world where you could spend $100m as frivolously as they do in the film industry. Think about how much good you could do with $100m… it can be spent in 20 minutes on a movie. – Will Poulter
Everyone in New York wants to move to London, and everyone in London wants to live in New York. A few people want to live in L.A., but I’ll never understand that. It’s too much for me. – Will Poulter
I joined the after-school club, School of Comedy, which progressed wildly, and in quite a Hollywood way. It sounds like ‘School of Rock’, right up to trying to raise money to pay for a venue in Edinburgh. – Will Poulter
I hate going into the audition room. I find it the most nerve-wracking, inhumane experience, and I think it’s such an inhospitable environment to give an honest account of the character and, I guess, your ability. – Will Poulter
I don’t really want to play Will Poulter for the rest of my life, because that’s boring. – Will Poulter
I love the camaraderie that develops on film sets and ensemble casts. It’s really special. – Will Poulter
Somehow I got a place at Bristol University. I’m still waiting for the phone call to say that they made a mistake and got the wrong person. – Will Poulter
I wasn’t good at anything at school, and acting was the only thing that I really loved doing and was interested in. It was kind of like my only option. For me to get opportunities in acting is so fortunate. I found something I loved doing and wasn’t terrible at; it was quite nice. – Will Poulter
I think what makes Narnia a magical place is that it offers escapism – escapism from a world that is so different from the reality known by the characters and the reality known by the fans. – Will Poulter
I hate the school of thought that says work is work and that you have to be unhappy at work because that’s what work is. I totally respect the fact that not everyone has the choices that I have, and that some people have to work jobs that they don’t like because they don’t have any other options. – Will Poulter
How often do I call my mom? You can never call your mum enough, and I should call my mum more often. But I speak to my mum very regularly and have a close relationship with my parents. – Will Poulter
Anyone who supports your work, I like having the opportunity to thank them for that, and I think also Twitter provides an opportunity for people in the public eye to give a faithful account of who they are. – Will Poulter
