I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.

I’ve given no thought to moving to America at all.

I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I’m a bit of a romantic.

My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of ‘me’ storytelling.

I think love can come fairly easily and grow – but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you’re in pretty good shape.

Each time you go to the same track you know whether you’re improving or whether you’re not… it’s not open to interpretation. It’s measurable – unlike acting.

The darker the film, the more vital everyone’s sense of humor is on set.

If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn’t you also be able to inhabit a character?

I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There’s a period of mourning for me, definitely.

I’d say I’m the opposite of someone that has the urge to stand in front of strangers and make them laugh, but the idea of getting up and telling a story and people finding it...

I’ve never been someone that’s had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn’t give you the chance to be flexible.

A girl’s got to be fun. It’s the one bit of advice I always give to friends of mine who are thinking of getting married.

I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it’s just a big play.

It’s always been my hope, as an actor, to reveal only what is relevant about myself to the work.

I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.

I never look at the size of the film when I’m looking for a part.

I’ll give you a list of a hundred ways that I’m more likely to be injured than belting around a race track with people who know what they’re doing. It’s not a place where I...

I wasn’t going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.

As an actor I’ve been attracted to the sort of films that I want to go and see. That tends to usually be drama-related.
