I remember going, I'm really excited about this - I really want it to happen. It would be a wonderful opportunity. But if something doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. My mother and father sort of raised me to look at things that way.

My mother is such an incredibly strong woman. She raised a family of five boys extremely well. She made us all strong, loving, caring people. We all support each other. I'm really thankful to her.

A large amount of constant activity will get things going. For example, training in the morning will have everything, all the juices flowing by the time you actually get to work. So, when you're at work, you've been already up for an hour or so or two hours, and you're raring to go where everyone else is still wiping sleep out of their eyes.

Regrets are something you can't really have as an actor, because ultimately you'll end up destroying yourself there's a lot of disappointment in this business.

Why can men no longer be best friends? This is so stupid. Today if you show two guys being best friends they end up giving out an image that they’re gay. But guys don’t always need to be drinking beer, fighting in pubs or pulling women by the hair. They may have a deep affection.

Whether someone else would have played Superman better or worse would be up for a lot of debate on the internet forums, I'm sure.

I still don't have any crushes on actresses or models. It's always been one of those things with girlfriends. They say, Who's on your list? What do you call it, the Get Out of Jail Free card?

I just loved the coolness of [Sean] Connery's Bond. He just sort of oozes cool.

A lot of the stuff you do as an actor - or I do, because I can't speak for everyone - is not always consciously thought out. A lot of the time, for me, it's actually just feeling stuff, and it happens all in the moment and your body reacts.

Getting the role like this is such awonderful opportunity... I remember looking in the mirror and going 'I'm superman'.

With Superman, there are certain limitations for an actor. You can't go past certain boundaries because then you cease to be what the character is.

I'm training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.

The hardest part of acting is not being guaranteed work. Every job could be your last.

I wouldn't say Bond is an ideal figure, no. The character has been performed in so many different ways that people go, Oh, that's an interesting take on Bond.

If I'm talking to someone and they're feeling a certain way, I will definitely tie into that very quickly. You have to learn to read emotions and feelings when you grow up in a family with four brothers - especially if three of them are a lot bigger than you.

I like to go full bore into something. If you have a backup plan, then you've already admitted defeat.

This acting job - it pays very well and you get to live a wonderful lifestyle, but it's something that I love doing, so I want to work with other people who enjoy it as well...

To play Bond, though, and then for the world to perceive you in a certain way, is very different from playing Superman. Bond is not this ideal figure.

I work out two, two and a half hours a day. For 'Immortals,' it was body-weight stuff: crunches, pullups, and martial arts-based cardio.

I prefer more of the modern stuff - just because I can associate with the imagery more.

Nature is a definite thing. But nurture is just as powerful. It can really mess with you.
