Usually you tend to glean much more information about your character from what other people say about you, rather than how it's described in the books.

I like to keep myself in shape. I run and do weights when I go to the gym.

To be honest, you have to do a big Hollywood film to get enough money to do a good independent film!

I'm still Sean that me mates went to school with, not Sean the film star. And that's the way I prefer to be.

My family thought the fascination with acting was just another fad.

I sort of leave the character at the end of the day. I don't carry anything around with me - no excess baggage or unnecessary thoughts. I think it's too exhausting to do that. To put things into perspective - your work is your work, and your leisure time is something else.

If you have a very good concept of your character, you can snap into it.
