I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something.

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

A cry-wanking scene is the struggle to live, in a single moment.

I'm 5 foot 7, and I've got pasty white skin. I don't think I'm ugly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy.

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 think the most romantic thing you can do is just turn up. Turn up when it's difficult for you. Travel halfway around the world or just up the road. Whatever it is, just be there.

It's weird when you're watching yourself in a film - you can't really detach yourself from the experiences you've had that day. You're never watching the film as a proper punter.
