If I spend all my time being upset about having lost a job, then the next however many auditions I have are going to be useless.

I prefer more of the modern stuff - just because I can associate with the imagery more.

The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.

I was overweight when I went to school. In fact, I was overweight when I left, just taller. Fatty Cavill was the nickname. I mean, no one wants to be Fatty Cavill.

I'm training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.

If someone's trying to intimidate me, male or female, I don't respect them enough to be intimidated.

I read mostly historical fiction - lots of stuff set in ancient Rome and ancient Greece. I also liked sci-fi and fantasy: David Gemmell, Raymond E. Feist. It's a nice escape from the world. As much as I do love real-life stories, they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt.
