I didn't read comics as a kid - though, obviously, I've read a lot since.

The hardest part of acting is not being guaranteed work. Every job could be your last.

People have this belief that actors are able to go out there and say, 'Oh I choose this job,' but most of the time we're just taking the job we can get. We don't just get offered thousands of jobs; we might earn one job a year and that's the one we'll take because we've got to pay the rent.

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

As an outside; don't worry about failure, because failure will take care of itself. Focus on success.

If there's one thing that we're very good at as humans, it's remembering the bad stuff. For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.

Ideally you do want people to treat you professionally in return, but not everyone necessarily does that. This acting job - it pays very well and you get to live a wonderful lifestyle, but it's something that I love doing, so I want to work with other people who enjoy it as well ... Maybe if I met the Queen I'd be nervous, though I'd probably be more nervous about doing things the right way because it's a very formal occasion.
