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 guess I'm not that metrosexual. My bathroom cabinet is hardly overflowing with products. I only really have my stuff for shaving. I can't honestly say I moisturise, though I probably should.

I can't remember ever being involved in a fight in a movie where I haven't done most of it.

I'm just constantly trying to renew and give myself new challenges and push myself to uncomfortable places, trying to get better.

A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.

Action scenes are not that different from other scenes.

America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.
