I'm willing to fly close to the flame.

I love storytelling. I love stories, and I love the way in which we connect through stories.

People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?

I like the privacy of my life and I protect it quite vigilantly.

I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.

I look at everything I’ve done critically - but I think that’s the job of an actor. If you ever sit on your laurels or think that you’re good - in a way, I don’t then think you’re pushing yourself.

I love acting but I don't like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are perceiving you.
