I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy.

I had this alter ego where I would go to the theater with mom. I wasn't embarrassed by it; it was separate for me.

There are roles out there I want to play that I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to. But I'm not going to waste time waiting for those phone calls, passing up the chance to do these sorts of things. I'm more likely to go see a smaller, darker indie film, like Felony for instance, than I am to see an Avengers or perhaps even a Terminator.

I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.

I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.

I love that about filmmaking - seeing final product and getting to see everyone else that you don't necessarily engage with on set every day and getting them to showcase their talents. Whether it's effects, music, the edit, the rhythm of a film is driven by that, so it's cool to see it come together. It's great to be standing in front of something you're genuinely proud of.

If I had the chance to spend a day with Werner Herzog, I would want there to be a canoe involved. I want to be down in Patagonia or something, and kill some kind of wild beast and skin it and gut it and cook it. And then turn its fur into some kind of layer of warmth. And then trek through the hills.
