It’s always interesting to me to tell stories that come from difficult political climates.

I really dont like the idea of people knowing what I am doing. I find telling everybody what you had for breakfast is really uninspiring.

When you're acting, everything is there around you, you just have to believe that it's real. When you're standing there with a slightly grey wig on and you have a baby in your arms screaming in your ear, you can go: "Well, I guess this is what it's like!"

'Upside Down' is a fantasy love story. It's about love at first sight - when you just fall in love instantly and will battle any obstacle to be with that girl.

Definitely River Phoenix is somebody that I thought, "This guy is very cool." I wanted to be like him when I was a kid.

British actors come at acting from a slightly different angle. Because a lot of the films are cast out there, they are so used to the angle from which the Americans, and certainly the young guys from LA, are coming at it, that I think it's interesting for them to find these English actors who maybe approach acting from a different place.

The films that I really liked and the ones that really blew my mind when I was younger were independent films. They're like great records to me.
