I'm not consciously avoiding doing a lot of period drama, but I don't really seek it out either.

If pressed, I would say I feel British. It's where I grew up and where I choose to live, the culture that I love, but I feel perfectly at home in America, I don't feel like a tourist or anything.

It sounds trite, but I like telling stories.

One of the great things about the 'Iron Man' franchise is that they employ fascinating actors who don't necessarily do action movies. Before 'Iron Man' you didn't associate Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow with those kinds of films. There's an emphasis on repartee and wit.

I don't like talking about myself, if I'm honest.

My mum's American. She's from Detroit.

I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.
