I'm not called Jude Law, I have three names; I'm called 'Hunk Jude Law' or 'Heartthrob Jude Law'. In England anyway, that's my full name. That's the cheap language that's thrown around, that sums you up in one little bracket. It doesn't look at your life. But if one looks beyond, there is actually a little bit more.

Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.

Every so often you get to play wonderful characters maybe at the wrong time in your life. Sometimes, you get to play terrible characters at a really great time in your life. Sometimes, the right character comes along at the right time.

There is no defence for my actions which I sincerely regret. [on an affair with nanny Daisy Wright]

I've never been a fan of just doing. I like to do things for a reason.

The only film I ever made for money was something called Music From Another Room, which I really didn`t like.

London is my home... I know what's right and wrong here, and it's nice to have somewhere familiar to go back to.
