Quote

And I like people. I like to know what you're really up to. I'm a bit of a nosey busy body. Why do they do the things they do? Why are they prepared to do the things they do to get what they want? When? Where? Who?

My job is to show and tell. If I get better at showing and telling then presumably I get hired more.

Being an only child, I didn't have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.

I'm a nice middle class public schoolboy who underachieved and wasn't going anywhere fast. I didn't get any GCSEs or A-levels. But everyone was like: Please, will you do something? And I was thinking: Well, I kind of like the idea of joining the French Foreign Legion.

I love dogs. Like, A LOT. They’re my favorite animal. Ever.

I'm an armchair psychologist, I suppose, and I like to kind of sit around and guess and pretend I know what's going on.

t's much less daunting once you've put your foot on the road to it. I'm a notorious couch potato and I don't like exercise. Half an hour of physical exercise, like jogging or fast walking a day is a start.

I'm very sensitive. Because my mum was my primary emotional caregiver growing up, I found myself being pinned into dresses, darting her dresses, choosing her high heels for the evening or what to wear. I'm very much a mommy's boy.

I hate publicists and publicity. But I love the people.

There's always a certain pride in getting the job done properly.

As actors, we have the opportunity to work with many directors. Directors only work with themselves and other actors. They never know what it is like to work with another director. So that relationship that one has with a director is entirely always the king.

Every time you need protein, get yourself a boiled egg in. But your main meals would be chicken, or hummus, or white fish. You can lose about a pound a day. But you can do this stuff over a period of time, and you can have your happy days. It's about motivation and it has to be something that's realistic for you to keep up.

I don't know anything about god except that it's not me. So, somewhere between that acceptance and doing my homework and being competitive and having ambition and loving my job and observing and reflecting my society, that's where I find the purpose. Because man needs purpose.

Ju jitsu is very Buddhist. All that we fear we hold close to ourselves to survive. So if you're drowning and you see a corpse floating by, hang on to it because it will rescue you.

The only thing I can do is wipe my arse, brush my teeth, turn up and do the best work I can.

There's an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled.

I had a huge imagination. My granddad says I was a bit of a Walter Mitty character.

My father came from an intellectual and studious avenue as opposed to a brawler's avenue. So I had to go further afield and I brought all kinds of unscrupulous oiks back home - earless, toothless vagabonds - to teach me the arts of the old bagarre.

Love is doing something you don't want to do for someone you don't particularly like at that moment.
