New York and LA are both great places to visit, but I wouldn't want to live in either of them now. I find New York extremely claustrophobic and dirty. LA is quite a nice place. But there's no hustle and bustle, no street life.

I think Danny Boyle's got it in his head that we all still look too young (to do a 'Trainspotting' sequel.) But, I mean, I don't look like anyone I play, anyways, so I don't really know where that comes from. Because, you know, you change yourself for the roles. I'm actually not Scottish, either!

The whole point of being an actor is to get satisfaction out of a role -- unless you're just vain about celebrity. You're always looking for the one thing that will surprise you.

I've never taken myself too seriously, I'm not into that.

I'm a pretty happy person, to be honest with you.

Computers creating art is an upsetting concept mostly because of what it means about humans.

I don't want to talk about the specifics of other people's performances compared with my own. I'd never do that.
