My first part was in a film where I played a sadomasochist who killed people and created fun orgies. I'm a method actor. I went to every orgy in the world.

I'm not the kind of actor that gets crazy with [directors'] names, what draws me toward a project is the material itself.

I'm a great believer in stunt doubles. They do an amazing job.

A part of being an actor is I people watch. I like to observe their behaviour, watch their reactions on the street and see how they talk to each other, and that's impossible when they are looking back at you. I used to enjoy taking the train and watching people in their own minds, struggling with themselves.

Celebrity is very weird.

When you're working with the best, it helps you to be good because then you are focusing on what you have to do.

Bond is the longest-running franchise ever and there's a reason for that: they are action movies but they are also touched by current events without being political or too serious.
