You get those occasional moments when you're absolutely calm, and you've just done something that would have scared you shitless earlier that day, and you've just done it like it was nothing. I find that very relaxing.

There are occasions when I've pretended to be in a firefight, and then there are people who have really been in a firefight. Clearly it's absolutely ridiculous, and even disrespectful, to suggest that I understand what that is.

I don't ever really sit back and look at roles I've taken and look at any similarities.

People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed, but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting.

There's a level of confidence in the actor you're working with that really helps a lot. It makes all the difference.

My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring.

It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.
