I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.

I think it's sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that.

I had the training at drama school where I studied Shakespeare and Brecht and Chekov and all these period historical playwrights and I think that I responded to the material.

I trained for three years at drama school to be an actor - not a celebrity.

I have played a boxer, a cowboy, a knight, a prince, an elf and a pirate. I am so glad to have done all of that already.

I just keep pinching myself that that's my wife.

I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.
