It’s better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen. – Douglas Booth
Yeah, ‘Requiem for a Dream’ – it’ll put you off a lot of things, that film, that’s for sure. – Douglas Booth
I love the challenge of playing characters forced on life-changing emotional journeys. To work on a project with Billy Crudup and Sam Rockwell is just a dream come true. – Douglas Booth
It’s fun to play a dark character, but you go home at the end of the day not feeling very good about yourself. You go away feeling dirty. It seeps into the air. – Douglas Booth
I suppose ‘Worried About the Boy’ was a brave choice, but only in the sense that if I didn’t get it right, my career would be over before it had begun. – Douglas Booth
Every year I look at the ‘GQ’ Best-Dressed List and have thought what an honour it must be to be included. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my own face in there. – Douglas Booth
I fell in love at 14 and I remember that mad, tense feeling and all the mad things you do for the person – all those extremes and all the stuff you don’t mind putting up with. – Douglas Booth
I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly. It’s swings and roundabouts. – Douglas Booth
When I was younger, I looked a lot older than I was. They have these working laws in England where you have to be 16: if you’re over 16, you don’t have to be restrained by working hours and things like that. In America, it’s actually 18. – Douglas Booth
The negative about acting is that you have to spend a great deal of time away from your friends and loved ones, but it’s not like working a 9-5 job and only having two or three weeks off a year. I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly. – Douglas Booth
I took up drama and did so much extracurricular work, like the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall’s Saturday school. Acting is where I felt most comfortable and how I wanted to express myself. – Douglas Booth
One of the biggest things I used to struggle with was about things like going on holiday. Whereas all your friends can talk about something and plan something all year long, I know that I’m probably going to be away and I’m going to miss all of it. If a job comes up, you just can’t be there. – Douglas Booth
We live in a beauty-obsessed age and success sometimes appears to hinge solely on the presentation of an image that is acceptable to the press. – Douglas Booth
