Leading man seems to quite often be an idealized figure.

That singular uncompromising nature I think is always quite attractive, not just for an actor to play, we're attracted to uncompromising people whether they're nice or not, because they're 3D, they're solid, you can define them, it's not wishy washy.

As I get older, I want to do more films for kids because they're the best audience around. Just putting a smile on a kid's face is the best thing.

A story about my life would be utterly dull.

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.

I do find it strange, doing magazine shoots. Photographers always go, 'Why don't you like to have your picture taken? That's what you do for a living anyway. Just pretend you're acting. It's the same thing!'

When I was 15 or 16 - I slept really well then. Now I sleep on a bed of anxiety-tipped nails.
