I want to be the perfect child. I owe so much to my parents and the way I was brought up.

I have to say as an actor I have been inspired by so many British actors throughout the years.

I've got this reputation for shooting one take which is a wonderful reputation to have but it's hard to live up to.

You can either be a vain movie star, or you can try to shed some light on different aspects of the human condition.

I always wanted to be an actor and I'd never dreamt that not only would I be able to do this for a living, but also on top of that I'd be able to choose and steer the course of my own career.

I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.

As an actor, you're constantly searching for that great character. Also, being a history buff and learning about people in our past and amazing things that they've done, I came across a book about Howard Hughes and he was set up as basically, the most multi-dimensional character I could ever come across. Often, people have tried to define him in biographies, but no one seems to be able to categorize him.
