You know everyone loves to be the villain.

The only reason my work seems to be eclectic up to a certain period is because I was a failure as an actor.

I don't particularly like babies. I don't mind them for about four minutes. That's my max. After that I can't quite see what everyone's fussing about.

I just don't believe in love at first sight any more, even though I've based my whole career on the concept.

I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail.

When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next.

I play the sort of character who would sell his grandmother for career advancement, something I've come across a lot with actors.
