The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes… It’s not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.

Everywhere I go, somebody is staring at me, I don’t know if people are staring because they recognize me or because they think I’m a weirdo.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.

When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss.

Global warming is not only the No. 1 environmental challenge we face today, but one of the most important issues facing all of humanity. We all have to do our part to raise awareness about...

I didn’t worry about what DeNiro thought… I went in, looked him in the eye, and got the part. I was confident, even though I’d never done anything like it before. Now I realise it...

My dad has always been the bohemian…

It gets to the point where you’re hot, you’re hot, and when you’re not, you’re not. It’s so true. I have to slow down soon.

I didn’t know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.

I was expecting a little more from ol’ Sharon y’know? I wasn’t about to get down and dirty with her, so it was a bit of a let down. Actually, she hurt my lip.

I don’t think my parents would be shocked about anything I did, because they’re so laid-back.

I rejected it many times because I thought it was just another commercial film. Sharon Stone and everything. But then, with one day to decide, I said, ‘OK’. I like Sam Raimi and this character’s...

It’s my first sort of commercial attempt, but it made sense for me because I’m not that kind of guy and I’m not going to continue to do that kind of movie.

It was closer to manual labor than shooting a film. I always think of something Michael Caton-Jones told me: ‘Pain is temporary. Film is forever.’

I’ve changed. You can’t help it. Your mind starts working in a different way. You feel really scrutinised by people.

When I was young, I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything. I used to think, ‘How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?’

I hate it… I feel that when I see myself and these other cute faces, I’m just part of this meat factory.

This is my first long-term relationship… and I can’t wait to see her at the end of the day. She’s the cutest girl in the world.

I’ve managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva, into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all...

I always feel like I’m on a roller-coaster, but I never want to get off! There’s a certain high you’re always on.

I just want to keep doing what I’m doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

It was the simple fact that there was probably not a cooler character on earth that I could play…

Meryl Streep does things I would never have thought possible… Her presence on screen is outstanding.

To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

Brothers don’t necessarily have to say anything to each other-they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.

I couldn’t deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y’know?

With Romeo and Juliet, you’re talking about two people who meet one night, and get married the same night. I believe in love at first sight-but it hasn’t happened to me yet.

I wasn’t sure at first-I didn’t want to run around in tights, swinging a sword.

I was dreading winning. I didn’t even plan a speech-I was worried that I would slip up or do something horrible. I was shaking in my seat, putting on a posed smile. Inside I was...

Most of the time I do feel like I need someone else when I’m alone. But I can still get by with just my own company and that makes me a stronger person.

Whatever I did would be something they’d already done. I mean, my Dad would welcome it if I got a nose ring.

I prefer ordinary girls – you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with...

Don’t think for a moment that I’m really like any of the characters I’ve played. I’m not. That’s why it’s called ‘acting’.

At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing.
