What I try to do as an actor is constantly find that, find ways to risk, find opportunities to fall on my face if it's going to be worth it, and then maybe I'll surprise myself.

The great thing about acting is, because you're constantly playing other characters and exploring yourself because you have to find those other characters in yourself, you sort of broaden as a person over your life because you've been other people. So you can empathize with many different sorts of people. It's great in that way and I hope, therefore, as you get older as an actor, you not only get more interesting because you lived more, but you get a bit wiser as a person.

So the better my partner or my opposition, however you like to think about it, the better my game.

I think I'm probably an assassin and not a Templar, but no doubt we're probably run by people with Templar mentalities.

It's always useful to be in big movies for one's career.
