I do wear suits all the time.
I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.
When you are shooting action, there is a satisfying thing because your objectives are very clear.
No matter who the character is and how big their role, that each person in the story is a human being and deserves respect. Even if they're in the story for ten seconds, I didn't want you to just see them as this entity passing through that's serving all of the other people.
Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.
For some people, an event happens and they are thrown into a tabloid feeding ground.
If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.
When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.
Rudeness can make me angry.
I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.
I always want my options to be open.
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
There are a lot of people who go through a lot of tough things, and it doesn't stop them from wanting to be a better parent.
Action scenes are not that different from other scenes.
