2.
Other people's success spurs me on to do well and gives me motivation.

It's always a bit overwhelming when you arrive on set and everyone's new, but you soon become a big family. I find the hardest thing about acting is that you have to say goodbye to everyone at the end of a shoot.
Nicholas Hoult
4.
I don't really have disappointments, because I build myself up for rejection.
Nicholas Hoult
5.
I think all teenagers feel alone, and that nobody else knows what they are going through and all that sort of stuff.
Nicholas Hoult
6.
I think if you set yourself specific goals, that's quite a lot of pressure.
Nicholas Hoult
7.
Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention - phones, Internet - and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present.
Nicholas Hoult

I was really in to shiny things when I was younger and I stole a shiny tag for my dog. I didn't get caught. I hope I don't go to jail for that.
Nicholas Hoult

Anybody who has a problem with 'Skins' obviously doesn't understand teenage life.
Nicholas Hoult
10.
If you're out, and starving, and need a bite to eat, then you need fast food.
Nicholas Hoult
11.
Supposedly I'm impossible to talk to. But it's honestly not me being difficult. Sometimes you just don't have a lot to say.
Nicholas Hoult
12.
I think interviews can be fine. It's just there's this terrible fear of coming off wrongly or saying something that gets taken out of context.
Nicholas Hoult
13.
I don't want to share my worries - that's for me to know.
Nicholas Hoult
14.
Long-term boredom can't lead to anything good.
Nicholas Hoult
15.
I try not to be too optimistic or pessimistic. If you're a pessimist then that's depressing all the time; if you're an optimist and things don't work out then that's depressing, too.
Nicholas Hoult
16.
I'm not too vain - I sometimes take pride in my appearance, but I stick to the rule never to spend longer than a girl getting ready.

I've got a really great family round me, two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody's equal.
Nicholas Hoult
20.
After Skins I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.
Nicholas Hoult
21.
I try not to read about myself. Why would reading about yourself be interesting? You're only going to be told you're doing a good job and get big headed about it, or be told you're rubbish and get down in the dumps. What's the point?

22.
I always like to keep busy, otherwise my brain starts ticking.

Nicholas Hoult
26.
I don't think parents always know where their children are going or what they are doing, what they are up to.
Nicholas Hoult
27.
As you're growing up, it's odd, because directors don't expect you to grow up. They think you'll be young forever, but as an actor, there is an awkward period when you're too young for old or too old for young, and it can be an odd time.
Nicholas Hoult
28.
By the time I was 14, I was about six foot. I remember going into auditions, and they'd look at how tall I was and say, 'Well, you're taller than the lead actor, so there's no way we can cast you.
Nicholas Hoult
29.
I won't eat veal, and my mum won't eat lamb, because she thinks it's a bit harsh to eat cute things.
Nicholas Hoult
30.
I'm not one of those people who's saying "I'm going to set up a production company", because I like acting and not having to be a business man and do that side of things.
Nicholas Hoult
31.
As a kid, when you're in a film with somebody, you look up to them, you know?
Nicholas Hoult
32.
I don't like watching myself. I get embarrassed.
Nicholas Hoult

That's how I believed relationships worked: You go into town, pick up the girl you want, then ride off into the mountains and the townsfolk can't get them back.
Nicholas Hoult
34.
In real life you get out of the shower naked, so why wouldn't you do it on screen? It's just a normal thing.
Nicholas Hoult
35.
I'd just like to carry on acting.
Nicholas Hoult
36.
A lot of child actors keep acting for the wrong reasons.
Nicholas Hoult
37.
I manage to live pretty normally.
Nicholas Hoult
38.
I just want to be a better actor. You can always get better.
Nicholas Hoult
