All my early school reports from the age of 5 were 'Daniel must learn not to distract others.'

I'm shocked at being recognized.

It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.

I don't see money or a particular status as an actor as a goal, but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range of roles as I can.

I've been exploring a lot of different avenues with a number of very different and very, very exciting filmmakers and writers. That's been the trip. I like to find something very, very different from the last thing I did, which might be similar to something I've done before, but as long as it's different from the last thing I did, it keeps me entertained.

Books are my weakness.

There is great worth in holding universal truths and timelessly beautiful words in your heart, which will stay there forever, infusing your thoughts and speech.
