I was a normal, rather dutiful child. I didn't even rebel as a teenager.

I've always been creative, I think.

Friends always say you don't realise how robust your baby is until you drop it.

Believing in God is a very intense inner struggle of mine. It's something I worry about a lot, but which I don't have the answer to.

In my early career I was like a goldfish. Rejection didn't affect me; I'd just forget how bad it was and keep going back for more.

It's an incredible privilege for an actor to look into the camera. It's like looking right into the heart of the film, and you can't take that lightly.

And it is very sexy as well: somebody says I'm taking you on a surprise date, you don't know where you are going and you can't see and then you put your hand out and there is a tiger. Amazing.
