When I look at a character, whether he's good or bad, one scene or 10 scenes, I just have to find my way in.

For me, I always have to establish a reality for the character. In very actor-y terms, you just have to understand his reality.

I don't concentrate on if a moment is scary or not. That's not my job.

Honestly, if you're just going to be the love interest then at least let it be a really good movie. Not every role is going to be Hamlet, I know that.

I like the not knowing of what the next job is.

When you're playing the good guy, you want to find the dirty parts - and when you're playing the bad guy, you want to find the vulnerability.

At an early age my dad - probably because he's a journalist - said: "Just have something to say. Don't just blather. Always have one line in your mind." So, that was always my thing whenever I met someone when I was younger, if ever I got to meet a real celebrity.
