I'm very much a loner. I don't like long relationships with people and I always keep people at a distance.

There's many a good tune played by an old banjo.

I was lousy in school. Real screwed-up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn't bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn't have any brains. I didn't know what I was doing there. That's why I became an actor.

I read a lot, that's my main hobby. I've got an iPad which I store books on and I read voraciously. I'm a slow reader but I'm obsessive. I make references, underline things, cross-reference. I'm an autodidact.

I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

I never make conscious decisions.

It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.
