I don’t mind looking like I need a good wash and a good meal... Any actor who starts taking ‘sex symbol’ seriously or thinks of themselves as a sex symbol has got some serious problems.

Kids before they're 7 or 8 are like little manic obsessives. They become completely hooked on things and they're slightly crazy.

I'm sort of one of those weird actors who whenever I do a play, I think, Oh, we should film this. As opposed to have to belt it out of ourselves in a theater auditorium.

Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.
