I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.

From my point of view, it's very refreshing to play a regular human being and not someone from another dimension. When I say "not act," what I mean is just to be as natural and as normal as possible.

My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant, and it was infectious.

The job is the same - to attempt to make it sound like you've never said it before and as if it's just occurred to you. And that's the same whether you're on camera or whether you're on stage in a room full of people.

I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.

I don't normally watch films I'm in because I'm squeamish about that and it takes me quite a long time to recover and I have to go to work. I'm not being coy or cute, but it's just true.

The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.
