I want to have a very definite style that people recognise as being 'Fred Fox.'

Dad hates London.
I've always wanted to work with Dad.
Umm, I used to stink-bomb peoples' letterboxes on the weekends when their newspapers were delivered.
At drama school we were encouraged to keep fit and healthy, but not to bulk out. We were told to stay lithe to allow our bodies to morph when we're playing various parts. Running is ideal for this, especially when I needed a lean look for the Channel 4 drama 'Cucumber.'
On every job you learn, on every job you should be looking to learn and every decision you make on the jobs you take, they should always try in some way, even if not in a huge way, they should in some way stretch you.
I adore clothes. More importantly, I admire people who dress well.
Who's ready for anything when they're 21?
I used to read 'Dennis' in the Beano when I went to have my hair cut.
The Dorset coast, where I spent my childhood, is a gorgeous place to run. I love to explore and revisit places like the cliffs at Kimmeridge Bay and the abandoned village of Tyneham.
My love of running developed when I got older. At school it filled me with dread and the idea of running around the sports pitches struck me with a nameless fear.
It gets me, physical comedy. There's nothing better than it.
Costume is always the first layer of armour for going into battle in a new acting job.
We're into a world where we're not talking about gay or straight or bisexual any more so much as we're talking about being transgender or identifying as a woman if you're a man.
I was obsessive and made my parents take me to the hairdressers way more often than I needed to.
It's part of my job as an actor to look after myself. Your appearance is crucial.
I don't really approach any part in any particular way. I tend to get an instinct on the way I want to do it, depending on that role.
My favourite film is 'Tootsie.' I suppose that's because it's very much about my industry and I love all the jokes, albeit a slightly bygone age of the 1980s, a world that I really understand.
