I have read articles about me where a reporter has exaggerated something that I communicated, but I wouldn't say there's ever been a lie told about me.

Everyone has their own approach to how they work.

For me, when I'm making a movie I like to stay in character throughout the day.

Between takes I find it difficult to switch off and then try and re-emerge myself in the part, so I try to stay in that frame of mine all day. It can be exhausting and you lose a sense of self, but it is the method that works best for me.

I love acting because it's a bit of an escape. It gives you the ability to reinvent yourself. They say that acting is the shy man's revenge.

I wish they taught green screen acting classes.

Actors are observers. They're trying to have an understanding of human sensibility. And how do you have that accurate observation if you regard yourself as someone of great importance? When you're the one constantly being observed, because they view you as a celebrity? It's all wrong.

I don't find Hollywood interesting, so I'm thinking of studying architecture instead.

I don't think things like trust should just be handed out. You have to earn that.

One of the things I find about acting is that the less the audience knows about the actor, the more they're able to believe in him in the role.

I love my mother Ali so much. I'm a momma's boy. I just have a very cool mom. It's not as though I had any say in the matter. I'm just really fortunate. She's the most kind, loving, giving woman.
