Quote

I've seen beautiful actresses get spat at or just someone trying to get a rise out of them so they can get an extra hundred bucks for a photo. It's really rough.

Kids audience is a brilliant audience. If you've got an audience of adults standing up and clapping, or you've got an audience of kids standing up and clapping, I know which one I'd choose.

I really liked 'Starter For Ten' because I grew up watching 1980s teen films like 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'The Breakfast Club' and I've always wanted to play the underdog lead hero in a 1980s-inspired film.

I'm 5 foot 7, and I've got pasty white skin. I don't think I'm ugly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy.

The minute you start to strategize too much, the more you start to think you're in control of your own fate. And you're not, really.

Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.

I do find it strange, doing magazine shoots. Photographers always go, 'Why don't you like to have your picture taken? That's what you do for a living anyway. Just pretend you're acting. It's the same thing!'

I always have a beard between jobs. I just let it grow until they pay me to shave it. People are quite surprised it's ginger. Sometimes they ask me if dye my hair and I always say 'Wow, no!' I'm 'trans-ginger.'

Passing my motorcycle theory test gave me a disproportionate feeling of greatness.

I considered becoming a priest very seriously. I wanted to travel the world. By the time I turned 16, I realized I was only in it for selfish reasons. And, more importantly, I didn't want to sacrifice the ladies!

I love going to art galleries. The Tate Modern is one of my favourite things to do. But I don't invest in the history of it and I don't read up on it. I am a guy who would buy a print rather than buy an original.

I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like Bourne.

Playing somebody who's obsessed. Playing somebody who is transgressing, and who is really crossing moral lines and ethical lines. That's always interesting.

That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.

As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that's not always the way to be.

I don't know if anybody's ever ready for another award season. It's kind of like Christmas.

A cry-wanking scene is the struggle to live, in a single moment.

I don't mind playing somebody who's not likable, or makes the audience feel slightly conflicted.

I also really liked playing Mr. Tumnus in 'Narnia'. I got to play my favorite character in children's literature, which I loved. You don't get the chance to do that in other jobs.

I learned something from a string of failed relationships. You don't see a pattern quickly. You see it over time. I learned to stop jumping in at the first sign of attraction. As soon as you're attracted to someone, you go for it - whether or not it's a good idea. Basically, just going out and getting laid.

It's quite liberating to have a director stand beside the camera and say: Do this now, and do that now... It's also a bit sordid but it liberates an actor, I think.
