I love this guy, ... I love the journey he goes on. It's a story we can all relate to, in terms of success and failure and the momentary happiness in life. What really makes people tick? What really makes them understand life?
It wasn't that easy, but hopefully I pulled it off and people would find it believable. I wanted it to be real. I wanted it to be my voice and not something I just put on,
I guess people want to think that. It sells papers, doesn't it? ... I don't listen to that stuff. I ignore it. I'm really happy in my current relationship.
I am very different to how people think I am. It's the characters I play that they are responding to.
I'm old-school English, so I suppose I'm quite protective - especially of time. Now that I'm a father, every moment is precious.
It's cool. It's the reason I get to do what I do.
Sofia Coppola is wonderful, and I'd love to work with her.
Life sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we plan or hope for.
Attraction doesn't stop when a child is born. It's the opposite. Being a mum and dad makes you even sexier.
He's the most giving, generous, great, helpful, open, honest director you could work with as an actor. It's like an education.
There's a whole element of human interaction and character interaction that I really enjoy doing.
For a kid in London, Hollywood seems like such a mythical place.
I wish I could just be in the movies and still enjoy everything else like a normal person.
I 'm at the beginning of my career and I hope I get to get the opportunity to play someone diverse and dark and more serious in the story.
