I must say I've rarely been described as 'diplomat.

You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character. At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are.

Trying to please everyone can be very hard, but, like Shrek or The Simpsons, Robin Hood manages to entertain adults and children at the same time, but in different ways.

It's hilarious to be considered a sex symbol. In school I was a beanpole with a nose I hadn't grown into. Being thought of as sexy makes one employable, but it's not going to last forever, so I try not to think about it. It's like something that exists outside of me.

I come from very conservative parents, and we weren't particularly wealthy, but we were comfortable.

I never like to go out of character when filming starts. I fear that if I do, I might not be able to pick it up again.
