'St. Elmo's Fire' is one of my favorite films. I like the storytelling of those teenage American films. You don't get that now. Teenage American movies are all about sick jokes, puking a lot, arse jokes.

I learned something from a string of failed relationships. You don't see a pattern quickly. You see it over time. I learned to stop jumping in at the first sign of attraction. As soon as you're attracted to someone, you go for it - whether or not it's a good idea. Basically, just going out and getting laid.

Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.

I did 'Narnia' because it was a good opportunity and all that, but really? I wanted to play Mr. Tumnus because he's my favourite children's character. That was awesome.

I don't know if anybody's ever ready for another award season. It's kind of like Christmas.

Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.

Fear is really powerful; it's really useful to me.
