Most actors go, I read the script and fell in love with it; I fall in love with the directors.

I do believe any hero is a person that can be knocked down. A failure isn't a person who gets knocked down; a failure is a person who stays down, and to me, the great heroes take the beating, get knocked down and stand back up again. Perseus is defined as one of the great heroes in literature, so you gotta take that on board.

A mate of mine told me recently, 'It's the first time I've seen you work, Worthington.' I thought that was quite funny, but he was right.

I've done a lot of roles where I'm the hero saving the planet. I love doing them, but sometimes you wanna completely try something different and create something unique and get lost in it a bit because it's completely far away from me.

You get to go and play with the big boys, it's a very privileged thing for us to do. So I'm sure we have more ideas than what I actually have time for.

I didn't set out to be famous; if I'd wanted that, I would have gone on Big Brother.
