I like reading, free diving and hiking. But my favorite thing to do is travel anywhere in Greece. I love everything about that place.

The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives, like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.

I never wear sneakers. I don't feel comfortable in them.

I mean, it's fine when you're a kid and someone runs into the playground and goes, 'I've got this great game of pretend,' and you play... As an actor, getting to play, getting to use your imagination and be childish - it is weird but it's wonderful.

I don't look on the Internet; it's a world of pain.

As a child I'd get given parts as a tree.
