Steve McQueen is my style hero. He's just cool, isn't he?
He would often play a piece of music just before a take to set the mood.
Mark Ruffalo is just an amazing guy and an amazing director.
The philosophy of Buddhism is connected to everything. So it probably does have some connection with acting, yes.
There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.
Be comfortable. I think if you're comfortable, you exude confidence, and that leads to good style.
Being referred to as a hunk or a heartthrob makes me nervous, but it's flattering. But I'm more interested in being an actor than a heartthrob.
Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.
I came out of drama school thinking I'd do some theatre, maybe some television, and maybe, someday, a film.
I don't like to talk about girlfriend stuff. It's not necessary. I try to keep my relationships separate from everything else.
I generally travel with my laptop, a couple of great books, and my iPod.
I still like to walk around and take photographs, but it's hard to do that if a lot of people are looking at you.
I want to do work that has a message and casts a light over an area that's dark. But I'm fun and jovial, too.
I've done all these historical epics and chivalrous roles, but there's an odder, quirkier side to me that nobody knows about.
