In retrospect, I think that I've been given quite a few scripts over the years that had dark elements to them but most of them took place in the countryside with a haunted house. I think I've probably had that script about six to 10 times over the past few years. Or it was something to do with the supernatural.

Mads is such a talented actor - it's almost like he wears his emotions on his sleeve, but not all the time - when he decides that he needs to, he has such access to his emotional life and it is just really incredible. He can do everything with just his eyes.

There is this view that if you are not tormented you cannot be vital and creative. I would like to think that is not true.

We can only make ourselves the victim.

I always felt I wasn't completely American and I wasn't completely British: there was a feeling of having my feet in both places.

I became an actor because it was the only thing I could do. I didn't have any friends, I didn't fit in. But when I started acting everything in my life shifted and I felt happy.

I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.
