Eventually stardom is going to go away from me. It goes away from everybody and all you have in the end is to be able to look back and like the choices you made.

We live in a world, it's very hard for Americans to understand that every 20 seconds a kid dies, a kid under the age of five, right, dies somewhere on the Earth because of lack of access to clean water and sanitation. Every 20 seconds that happens on our planet. It's just very hard for us to relate to.

Still, the change is nearly indescribable - going from total obscurity to walking down a street in New York and having everybody turn and look to feel the temperature of a room change when I walked in.

If you're just an actor you're reactive. You're saying, Well, I hope Hollywood gives me a role, or gives me a chance at a role, whereas if you can generate your own content, then you can go where you want to go.

I started really young, like 12 or 13, and then I started doing school plays. We had a really good drama department, so the kind of drama-geek stigma wasn't really there in my high school.

Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things.

As actors, we react to the material that's out there, and I probably just react more strongly to things that I feel will have some social value.

It's usually the exact same three things which are, the Scripts, the Director and the Role those are the three things I look for and really any two of them, If I get two of them that's usually enough, but definitely those are the things I look for.

I was never that much a focus of interest that I became a 'thing' at an earlier point in my career. I'm aware of having become a 'thing' now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.

Most films and directors lose their nerve and want to indicate [emotions] a bit more, to show that their story is clear. I'm not saying that's a good thing as an actor its anathema to good acting, but to have someone with the confidence to say that should I be utterly natural and minimalist is great.

I think marrying somebody who's not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.

If there's an idea I think is really good and I feel like I can write it, then I'll do it.
