The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.

Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.

I loved working with him [Justin Chadwick]. He was very smart in how he assembled the people around him and had a crew that he knew very well. He was very comfortable on the set and I never felt that I was working with a first-time filmmaker.

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.

It really depends on the director. I think quite often, it's not what you expect. The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious. I don't think there are any hard-and-fast rules. I just think it really depends on your director and what the general vibe is.

The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.

I love working with people who have had television experience because I think there's a real efficiency and methodology that comes from that background.
