I've been brought up with the Christian faith with my family.

Being attractive, it's not something I do consciously. It's incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents.

I've never been around pets. I didn't have pets as a child.

There's a physicality and confidence to Americans; they're very present. That's something I enjoy being around because it rubs off on you.

Actors, to a certain extent, never grow up, you see. It's an extension of being out in the back yard with a stick, only you're being paid to do it. It's borderline madness.

It's interesting - an actor's research is different to just historian's research. I'm looking for things that I can actually physically use in the movie.

I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am. My character. My make-up. My culture and heritage is a very rich one. So what if it's difficult for people to pronounce? We all learned how to say Schwarzenegger.
