against battles bigger dressing feeling fort imaginary kid pretending sort
I was always dressing up as a kid in the backyard, building some sort of fort and having battles against imaginary enemies. It's often that same feeling when you're pretending for a living, but it's with bigger toys.
bit business crisis die far good pressure
After 'A Good Day to Die Hard,' I had a bit of an identity crisis as far as where I wanted to place myself in the business. When it's all new and fresh, there is a lot of pressure to know what you represent, and I didn't really get that.
emphasis great point reference state vigilante weapons work
With 'Divergent' and 'Insurgent,' there isn't great emphasis on uniformity; it's a vigilante military, the state is in disarray, and there is no reference point for authenticity, so it's just weapons work and circumstantial fighting.
friday children night
I was too young to be an avid enthusiast for the franchise, but like billions of people I remember as a child sitting around with the family on a Friday night with pizza and popcorn and a 'Die Hard' movie on.
sadness thinking healthy
A person can't know what happiness is without experiencing sadness. And I think that's healthy.

I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy.

The news business is simple but it's not easy to do well. You know the story, you have to cover it, you need pictures, you need good writers, you have to get it to the screen but it's obviously not easy to do well.
stars hate forever
I don't know if I'm an action star or if that's just how things are shaping up. I would hate to be boxed into that forever, but it's probably just a strength as far as my type goes, and I'm fine with that.
facts film realistic
I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big films.
school passion playing-dress-up
I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.
months immigration three
I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.
teacher dad school
My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.
becoming handing optional parcel roles sequel sort
You get involved with a studio, and optional pictures and sequel options and that sort of thing are becoming part and parcel with the roles they're handing out.
cool evolution fresh given lead role
To be given a lead role in something as cool and fresh and crazy as 'Spartacus' was a real thrill. That had a lot to do with the evolution of my ambition as well.
