I guess I'm not that metrosexual. My bathroom cabinet is hardly overflowing with products. I only really have my stuff for shaving. I can't honestly say I moisturise, though I probably should.

I live in London and I love living in a gun free environment and long may it continue.

A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.

No matter who the character is and how big their role, that each person in the story is a human being and deserves respect. Even if they're in the story for ten seconds, I didn't want you to just see them as this entity passing through that's serving all of the other people.

For an actor, it's very important to get a clear idea of what a director wants, and their intention for what they want to get out of a scene and how they want to shoot it. Having that knowledge is really valuable, for an actor. It means you can deliver more.

I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.

Death frees the beast.

I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.

I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.
