Everyone in life knows what it's like to be picked on and to feel like an outsider.

I'm drawn to a good story, really, as I hope most people are. For me, it's the story that's going to stay with you eventually, not necessarily the genre. I go to watch a film because of the story, not because it was a Western or a comedy.

I'm fortunate enough with the surfing to be very much at home at the water - my pulse and heart rate are slower in the water than they are on land.

I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.

I'm definitely an elbow-room guy.

My life is very much consumed with work.

I'm not one of those actors who gets physically fit for a role and then loses it all again.
