I have no reason to influence people. I just want to have it all for myself. I just want someone to pat me on the back. (laugh) It's crazy. It seems just completely ridiculous. I don't know why. I mean, three years ago, I wouldn't be able to influence my dog to walk.

I never thought people would buy the soundtrack [to Twilight]. So, it's a little more nerve-wracking now. I don't know.

The person who proclaimed me Best Dressed Man never saw me in my sport outfit.

All of my favourite actors are American and I grew up watching American movies. It's weird, but I used to do a New Jersey accent in every audition in the States just because I liked to do it, really. It's completely bizarre. Everybody would ask: 'Where are you from?' And I would say, 'Oh, I'm from London.'

In public, I hardly ever show feelings. That's what happens when everything you do is put under a magnifying glass. But if you've spent some time hiding behind your public mask, and you're back in your own environment, then all that suppressed emotions still has to be set loose. As a result you are going to behave like a nutcase. I think thats why so many people who are famous go nuts.

I didn't want to get stuck in pretty, public school roles, or I knew I'd end up as some sort of caricature.

I always think everything is going to be my last job so every single day is a gift. This whole life is an accident for me.
