I used to lift very heavy weights in my mid-twenties - I used to bench press over 300lb. The most I ever lifted was 330lb; I couldn't do that today, no way.

I'm a bit of a romantic.

Without a doubt, rowing is the hardest thing you can attempt to learn in a short period of time.

I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.

I guess I'm a very keen observer, and I'd like to think I have a good imagination.

It's always been my hope, as an actor, to reveal only what is relevant about myself to the work.

Each time you go to the same track you know whether you're improving or whether you're not... it's not open to interpretation. It's measurable - unlike acting.
