I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours, but he survived the whole war.

I'm not really an animal person.

I want to take advantage of any popularity I have.

I am comfortable playing the fool, I think.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

I want to play characters that are interesting to watch.

Half my fan mail comes from Japan.
