I love people. People are lovely creatures. I'm one myself, so I love to see people happy.

I guess if I had fifty million dollars I could spend more time at home.

I think online dating is a way of procuring people. Like Facebook and Myspace, it's the way that people connect now and procure small children and sometimes dodgy relationships. I don't think it's very healthy.

I'm from a nice, suburban, middle-class family, but my tattoos remind me where I've been.

I'm into parlor dramas. I'm into theatre. I'm trained for the stage. I trained to do Chekhov and Shakespeare, I was trained for the stage.

I like to be other people, not me. And when you're on the red carpet, it's like, 'Here's Tom Hardy.' I don't want to be me. That's why I play other people.

I had a huge imagination. My granddad says I was a bit of a Walter Mitty character.
