I love it. Until recently, I'd seen a peek of it in the catalogue but not actually seen the real thing. It was strange seeing myself as I was two years ago, not as I am now. If you look at each individual part of my face they look exactly like part of my face. Together it's surreal.
I think it's kind of great, to be honest. I'll never do another film [like Swiss Army Man] where I get to talk about those things, so I might as well enjoy it while I can.
Every day I would come to set [of Swiss Army Man] going like, "How are we going to do this?".
He suffers from the same frailties and hormonal-related problems as all sorts of people his age, but he's also going through this massive thing of almost paranoia, where someone's trying to get at him, trying to destroy his life, but he doesn't know who. Some invisible force is trying to tamper with his life in some way.
I thought it was really weird seeing my face up on the screen.
In England, there's so much history that you feel a part of history even when you're really not,
To be fair, it's not even the first time I've seen a dead version of myself. There was one on Harry Potter, on the last movie, that they actually used to bring to set in a body bag.
I'm into weird kind of, anything that resembles magical realism.
If this doesn't get you exhilarated, then nothing in life will excite you,
I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls, ... I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.
I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool.
I really enjoy working physically.
I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it. I don't preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.
In some ways, you get to find your voice better in [a sequel] because you have to define how you're doing it differently.
