Sexuality is, of course, a great way of having a conversation between people.

The last time I did anything like this [special powers] was with the Narnia film with two swords, the same but different.

We're living in a new Beat time, in my view. And it's very difficult for us to hang on.

It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien.

Daily absorption in the physical actualities of nature is life as I need it to be: it means I am connected to such large things - sky, sea, hill, the vagaries of weather, the undeniable needs of animals - that I can disappear as a subject of interest, I can exist without self-consciousness. The city is a challenge for me, however thrilling a few days prove, for its insatiable overstimulation and the rarity of quiet. The city makes people bigger than they need to be.

George [Clooney] and I do have the aim one day to be in a film where we say one nice thing to each other. Hopefully one day.

I would rather be handsome for an hour than pretty for a week.
