When I made 'Real Steel,' the director actually had the robots in the monitor, so he knew where everything was. So technically, there's been advancements. But at the end of the day, movies are about story and characters, so all the other stuff is great, but unless you have those two elements, then you've got nothing.

Tiramisu is my favourite.

I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.

I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.

If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.

My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.

I know I'm not known as method. By nature I'm not a brooder. What I continue to use is a mixture of the English school, which is traditionally outside-in, and the more American way of working from the inside out.
