I love New York - maybe more than Los Angeles or London. I think I'm happiest in New York.

There was an article in the New York Times that said that young men can't maintain healthy relationships because they're so influenced by pornography and what they see on the screen. It's something to be talked about.

My agent in London told me, after Never Let Me Go, because I loved doing that so much, "If you're on a lucky streak and you're doing well, you should only take a part, if you can't bear the idea of anyone else doing it." That's been the case since then, with Drive and Shame and the play (The Seagull), and the stuff that's going on, like Gatsby. I would have been devastated, if I hadn't gotten those jobs.

I want to play the fake child on 'To Catch A Predator.' No, wait! I want to play the Leaf Man!

I never had posters on my wall and when I meet actors that I really admire, it's exciting because I get to work with them.

People always say, "You played such a strong character." I remember someone said that to me when I played a role in Shame, and she was a suicidal mess. I said, "She's not strong at all; she's incredibly weak." But "strong" to people means "real." It means you believe that's a person who exists, as opposed to some two-dimensional depiction of women.

I'm more the sort of person who doesn't like hugging strangers because we don't know each other, so we shouldn't.
