As an actor, I've always said, half the audience is going to love you, half is going to hate you so just live with it. It's easier that way.

And I guess I have a face and a look that sort of lends itself to period costume!

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.

You're always going to be more judgmental about your own performance than anyone else.

As long as you understand that you find happiness through family, friends and love, then money is just a nice bonus.

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.
