A job is not just a job. It’s who you are.

[Tom] Wolfe's books offered a whole new world to step into, and whilst at times you could accuse him of being somewhat long-winded, he had an incredible quality of prose and a bravery of writing from the heart. He believed in being autobiographical at all times.

I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.

The only film I ever made for money was something called Music From Another Room, which I really didn`t like.

There is something nice about wearing the same thing everyday, having that go-to.

I feel more and more at ease, because I think the older I get, the less pressure there is. People say, 'Well, he's not cutting edge because he's not in his twenties, so he's not expected to be.'

My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.
