I don't want anyone to ever say that I don't belong where I am.

I like the idea of being a youngish parent. So I've got energy to play football even though they'll be better than me by the time they're four.

You have to find out who you are aside from what the media say you are. If you've become reliant on them for kind of a sense of self, then you're really screwed.

Part of an actor's job is to find correlations between your own life and the life of the person you are playing.

I'm a huge fan of Brad Pitt. He could have done rom-coms his entire career, but he took it in a different direction.

People tell me I look mournful. They say, "Cheer up, Dan, it's not that bad!" Sometimes, I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I'm a happy person.

I don't want to say I'll never play someone with a cockney accent, but I think I would be irritated by me doing it.
