What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.

I think honesty is the most heroic quality one can aspire to.

I've worked every day since I was 10. I don't know how to do anything else. There is nothing else I'd rather be doing.

I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls. I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.

I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.

I think, as an actor, and particularly if you are playing the lead in something, you have to view yourself as the head of department for the cast. All of the other departments are accountable and have somebody at the helm who is leading them all the time, and I don't think that the actors should be any different.

I still have issues around forgetting that it's my life and if I want to do something, I can do it.
