I don't hang out with movie stars, and you won't see me going to many Hollywood parties. I'm actually quite boring.

I can be intolerably jealous and I think that’s what’s driven me. My ambition knows no end.

It can take a long time for some people to find out how to ground themselves, and film sets are an odd atmosphere to do it in - especially if, like me, you finished school early.

I'm a workaholic. I also go to the gym a lot - it's my new thing. Yes, I am a compulsive person.

You go through your 20s sort of like a chrysalis in many ways, stretching into your own skin and trying to bust out of a cocoon.

Celebrity has lost its value - all you have to do is go on a reality TV show for six weeks and everybody knows your name.

With a director it's all about the work; I'd work with a great director over - you know, I'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'I want to play this role.' It's more like, 'I want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. But a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.
