Sometimes a script comes along that really makes you sit up and pay attention... 'Life at These Speeds' has an emotional intensity that really kicked me in the guts.

I had friends who ran off to become ski instructors or worked in cool bars, and I often envied them, but I know I'd quickly become bored with that kind of life. I always need to push myself.

The best thing I've ever done for a girl hopefully is make them happy. Isn't that the most romantic thing you can do?

When you're forced to watch something in school, you never really enjoy it, you sort of rebel against it in a certain way.

Obviously, you never shoot the scenes of a film in order or only very rarely.

Every year I look at the 'GQ' Best-Dressed List and have thought what an honour it must be to be included. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my own face in there.

What is life unless you're having a good time? I don't really have a plan; I just try to dip my toes in different ponds.
