Part of my aspiration as a film actor is to bring subtlety to everything I do - honesty but subtlety.

I've always felt that acting is acting at the end of the day, so whether you're doing comedy or heavy drama or anything else in between, you always have to bring a semblance of honesty to it. It's all make believe.

I find that most of us actors can't stand ourselves in any form.

Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy, it's romantic.

As an audience member, I like watching Rupert as an actor when he's most playful. I think Rupert is really adept at comedy; I think that's where his strength lies.

I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.

The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don't get to do in real life.
