The most romantic things are very small, kind gestures from people you love.

I live for challenges. In my career, all I want to do is try to challenge myself and have a varied career.

The negative about acting is that you have to spend a great deal of time away from your friends and loved ones.

You can have a great script, or a great director and a bad script, and get a great movie. Nothing really guarantees anything.

I like to wake up late, around 11 A.M., especially if I have been out the night before. Then I go to brunch with either my friends or my girlfriend. I then like to just chill out: read the papers, read some scripts and then take it very easy. If it's sunny, I go for a walk with my dog, Niles, in the countryside.

The script's always important, but there are some things that have come out in the past year that, when we read them, everyone was like, "Oh my god, this is going to be the next best thing!" Then the movie falls completely flat on its face.

When I do go to L.A., it is usually for a reason - to meet with a director or something - but I'm always so happy to go back to London.
