I wanted to become an actor because I wanted friends.
I like to listen to French radio; I'm trying to learn French.
I like this idea of becoming fully realised.
I have such awful skin; it doesn't matter what magic serum they think they're putting on - I'll usually break out.
I do enjoy doing action quite clearly, but I also really like doing comedy.
For me, work is one thing, and my life is another.
Everybody's got family, or they don't have family, but they come from somewhere.
Anytime you take on a character... you just have to find the parts of the character that you can understand.
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
My go-to line when it's the resume game is that I'm either Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds.
I don't usually read self-help books, but I read a great book by a guy called Wayne Dyer: 'The Power of Intention,' which I loved.
I've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.
More than anything, what we do as actors is to sit and watch, and I would never want to get so lost in the celebrity bubble I couldn't do that because my feet no longer touch the ground.
I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about - get a bit closer. I don't want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone's smell.
