“Everyone has a freak flag inside them. Whether they're brave enough to...” — Alex Lawther Quote

Everyone has a freak flag inside them. Whether they're brave enough to show it is another matter.

I'm lucky enough to live in London, which is a boiling pot of every kind of language and background and demographic and sexuality and gender, and yet most of what we're seeing in the cinema is not reflective of that.

I'm a massive Roald Dahl fan. I grew up reading his work and see a recurring theme - I have continued to love stuff that mixes the gruesome with a sort of humour. I'm drawn to that in my work.

I love being scared, and I always have done. When I was younger, I was always reading books about the paranormal, UFOs, and crop circles. I liked the idea of people seeing faces in walls and twins that could communicate with each other telepathically. I really believed it, too!

You can freak yourself out with 'EastEnders'; think about how many people watch it, how long it's been going, it's iconic. But since I've been on it, I've come to terms with it.

I am a sugar freak.

I was a movie freak before I was a book lover.

I'm really go-with-the-flow, but I take things really seriously. At the same time, when things don't go my way, I don't ever freak out. Why? Why freak out?

I always felt like I was a freak when I was growing up and that there was something wrong with me because I couldn't fit in anywhere.
