I don't get recognised that much yet in London, but when I do I get a real sense of achievement.

Yeah, I know, any time you hear an actor say, 'I do music', you cringe. But I want to be gradual with my music. I want to earn my stripes.

I tend to stay away from the comics.

I wasn't bad at school, but I was never a bookworm.

I think there's a tendency for actors like myself, and I don't mean to generalize myself, but I've played 'men's men,' if you will, characters that are simmering rage and calculated. There's a trend not to play anything that is opposed to that.

The only thing I change mainly is my sneakers. I love sneakers. But everything's sort of black or jeans. Jeans, always.

It could be Grammy night, Oscar night, whatever - I don't feel the pressure to be there.
