I'm not going to pretend I'm some saint, because I'm not.

I love acting. I just love it. It's in my bones. I remember when I was a kid, I watched an interview with Dennis Hopper talking about Jimmy Dean on the set of Rebel Without A Cause. Jimmy said to him, "If you've got to cry in a scene, you've got to cry. Make it real." And that's all that I believe in.

When I was at drama school I wanted to do classical theatre. It just so happened that I did a film when I came out and I moved that way.

I like to think that I've got determination, and I'm fiercely protective of the people I love.

The whole vanity aspect of building up different muscles - I have no interest.

There's no better way to unplug than having children. Changing diapers is one of the most leveling things that has ever happened to me.

Just to have the opportunity to play an American in America is a dream come true for me.
