I've got like a weird bond with horses. I'm kind of a horse whisperer, I don't know what it is. I'm not great on a horse. I'm getting better, but I'm not brilliant. So yeah, I've spent a lot of time with horses. They're great creatures, I love them. I do love riding them when I get the chance to.

I always love costume, and I'm always heavily involved in how things should look. Or how they should feel really, because that's part of the way I suppose I get into character in some ways. It's a lot about costume.

There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.

It's very difficult to say anything in Icelandic. I can say "takk," which means "thank you." That's about all I learned.

I love acting and I know that's a cliché, but I didn't really, I was very naïve when it came to the whole being recognized thing.

I've inherited the bad poetry genes, but not the inventor genes.

Attention gets you the opposite sex sometimes.
