I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.

I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.

I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.

I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.

I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.

I always want my options to be open.

I always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.
