As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that's not always the way to be.

Film sets are a strange place, but an exciting place. I do love my work; I really enjoy going to work. But if you just spend all your time on film sets or even on stage, you can become a Michael Jackson figure, living in your own little universe.

I wanted to join the navy to get some perspective on the world and explore.

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.

I look at the Christian Bale movies, the Batman films, and that shows you that superhero movies don't just have to be about men in tights.

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

That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
