I'm an actor; I want to play roles, not a role.
— Ed Westwick
I feel like you just need to keep writing until the writing itself just begins to take shape.
I can pretty much live without fast food. I haven't eaten McDonald's in so long, but it's okay.
Today there are paparazzi out, I'm doing a day of press, I'm in a hotel, I've just been on Radio 1. But when I'm in my day-to-day life people don't know who I am and I'm left to my own devices.
I was just doing bits and pieces of acting in the U.K. I'd been in the film 'Breaking and Entering' - Anthony Minghella gave me my start and I miss him dearly. Then I made the trip out to L.A., during one of their pilot seasons, which was when they were developing 'Gossip Girl,' and I auditioned, and things came together.
I can get moody sometimes when I wake up after a nap - I'm like a four-year-old.
Live fast, die young.
I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.
I'm all for being in love and whenever I like someone, I end up pretty much completely smitten.
This is my trademark: I rip my T-shirt. I'm into the whole showing-a-bit-of-chest-hair thing.
I love working in America, I love being part of the industry out here.
I've been writing a lot of poetry recently. It helps me think and work things out.
When I need to think of, like, a peaceful scene or something, I think of my back garden in summertime. And whenever I hear the lawnmower next door, I always think it's really peaceful.
If people want to really know what's up with me then they can read one of my interviews.
I grew up in a middle class English family just outside London. I wasn't surrounded by that speedy city lifestyle, it was a little mellower.
When I find someone who is worth it, I'll be nice and respect that person and put some time in.
Be a good-looking corpse. Leave a good-looking tattoo.
I have two older brothers. I am the baby. We're all very, very close. We're great communicators, so we get along really well.
It's always good to be around nice-looking people.
To be respected as an actor it doesn't help to be seen out in the clubs.
I'm just happy to be doing a job that I love.
I bite my nails. I've been chewing on them for years. As long as you don't chew through flesh it's all right.
I can't stand watching myself on TV.
I've got a clear line between work and real life.
I don't come from a famous family and don't have this detachment from everyday people and everyday life. I'm just doing my job and the attention that comes with it is part of the territory.
'Villain' is such a harsh word.
I'm a big fan of Elvis, man. I got 'Heartbreak Hotel' tattooed on my chest.
I wouldn't want a manicure. I'm a man's man!
I've always connected with music. Life's not always what you see; it's what going on in your head. Music is what comes out of your subconscious.
Music is my release.
