It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.

I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one, and now they seem sort of meaningful and important.

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

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.

I'm a jacket man. And if I'm without one, I am kind of seriously disabled. I don't know how to operate in shirt sleeves.

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.

More people saw me in 'Love Actually' than had seen me in everything else I had ever done up to that point.
