I think I was about 16 when I first figured I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be a fighter pilot before that, but then I thought I don't want to kill people so that ruled that out.

I think New York is more stylish than London.

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

Well, I couldn't spell my name until I was eight - my second name. I was so dyslexic. Max I could do. Irons, nope.

People say 'follow in the footsteps' but I always find that a strange expression because what you want to do is forge your own path, so to speak.

If you look at the careers of Philip Seymour Hoffmann, Paul Giamatti, Meryl Streep, none of them shot up in terms of fame or fortune or recognition, they laid a platform of good, solid work and became better and better.

The only person I can amaze is me.
