I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have.

I love firing guns. It's an amazing feeling - so sexy and powerful.

I think it's always easier to play parts that you have something concrete that you can relate to.

I'm not really into makeup, not really into fuffing with hair and stuff.

I think American guys tend to be a bit more forward, a bit more chatty and open than the Brits. The Brits seem to have a darker sense of humor, though I have met some Americans who have adopted bits of the British dry sense of humor as well.

Skiing in Whistler was great fun. It's an extreme environment that's very different to my own and I had never skied before, so I had to learn to take on the elements quite bravely. It was nice to try something new.

I've had that experience of not liking people very much, but having tremendous respect for them.
