I'm really normal. I play football, go to the beach, drive. We have dogs. I can imagine people calling me a character, but I'm Joe Straight.

I don't want to die in a car accident. When I die it'll be a glorious day. It'll probably be a waterfall.

Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.

I feel that there are great minds up there who would like to see what I can do with an Oscar nomination. I guess many people would change after a nomination in the way they see things. In my case it's really irrelevant in terms of what I do. Still, it was an incredible experience which I will put in my memories, like everything else.

I can’t on my own change the regime in South Africa or teach the Palestinians to learn to live with the Israelies, but I can start with me.

Animals can't really voice their opinion. We feel as though we can be on of the spokespeople on their behalf.
