I like to think that at the end of a show, you can just take your costume off and go to the pub.

You know, Taylor Lautner, with a body like that, he should be taking his shirt off. For me, it's not so essential.

I don't think I've got enough energy to be competitive! Most of my energy is just devoted to me being nervous and trying to deal with the situation.

Towards the end, one of them [children in "The White Queen"] was older than I was in real life.

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

There are certain things that cut right to the bone, but as an actor you have to because you get turned down for things all the time. I have a friend who was told he didn't get a job because he was too hairy. I've never heard anything that bad, but you have to get used to that sort of thing.

Also I don't want to refer to myself as Maximilian. You'd have to win an Oscar or become mind-numbingly wealthy or hit 50. It's like smoking a cigar, you know what I mean? You can't be a young guy and do it.
