I have worked hard to get where I am.
If you had no real training, if you hadn't spent years and years studying a martial art, how would you kill the bad guy?
Critics think we try to make bad films. They think we want to spend five months of our lives making something bad. We always go out with the best of intentions, whether it's fluffy comedy or a drama.
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.
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've worked Keira Knightley quite a bit and Kevin Costner.
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.
My go-to line when it's the resume game is that I'm either Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds.
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.
Anytime you take on a character... you just have to find the parts of the character that you can understand.
For me, work is one thing, and my life is another.
I do enjoy doing action quite clearly, but I also really like doing comedy.
I have such awful skin; it doesn't matter what magic serum they think they're putting on - I'll usually break out.
I like to listen to French radio; I'm trying to learn French.
