One funny thing is, though, I wear my watch on my right hand and I'm actually right-handed. People always wonder why - I don't know myself, I've just always done it that way and I like it the way a good watch fits on my right wrist.
I always wanted to sing, as a child.
I always find cardio the most monotonous. Running on a treadmill shows me why hamsters are so crazy.
And I knew that, being an actor, you have to take the rough with the smooth and the highs with the lows. That's how it is.
I do not comment on my client's personal lives in the media. As for Luke, he did so once, a long time ago when he was an inexperienced, young actor and now with maturity and hindsight, he has learned not to engage the press in his personal life again.
My style is determined by the mood, the period and the circumstances which I'm going through in a given moment.
The truth of the matter is roles like James Bond are the ones that I look up to as probably the best roles ever to play. So that's probably my ultimate goal one day: to play James Bond.
As much as my parents were worried about me moving to London at 17, they could see that I was hungry to find my path. And it probably helped that they saw me succeeding at it, slowly but surely.
One thing Tolkien does incredibly well - and this is from a lay person's point of view; I am not scholar or anything - is that you don't have to make an effort to envisage the worlds that he writes about.
A watch is a fashion statement, and it says something about the person wearing it.
Everybody knew me as a gay man, and in my life in London, I never tried to hide.
I guess maybe directors see a face that seems to have been lived in. I know that my face has been lived in, yeah.
I had a very lovely childhood, and, being an only child, I'm very close to my mom and my dad.
I just love the sound of a black woman's voice.
