I grew up in the '90s. I listened to a lot of The Clash, Velvet Underground and Roxy Music. I wasn't into Boyzone, or anything.

There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.

I don't really know what the dream role would be. That's a hard question to answer. You never really know, until you're immersed into something, how passionate you feel for it and how it unravels.

I'm constantly trying to find something that's different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That's not for me.

Life is more important than 'what film I do next.

I haven't got any friends from where I grew up, but that's not to do with fame.

I don't like to be me. I'm not so comfortable being me on screen because then I'd be a presenter. I'm not Jimmy Fallon.

I'm always looking for something that's versatile from the last.

It's great when talented people in the world, in the same business, can see your work and compliment you on what you're doing and take a strong interest in your movements in your career.

I don't go online, I don't read reviews, I try not to look at anything on the Internet.

I can't think of anything worse than trying to schmooze someone with the idea that you're an actor.

The church and the scientific community are fighting at times a common enemy: the truth religion cannot deny and the positivist materialist scientist is unable to explain.

If you just talk to who's easy to talk to, you're not really getting the best data.

Three hours of writing require twenty hours of preparation. Luckily I have learned to dream about the work, which saves me some working time.

I don't like to compare things to other things. It always sounds arrogant in print.

There is no such thing as an appropriate joke. That's why it's a joke.

It was a dream, and in dreams you have no choices: either there are no decisions to be made, or they were made for you long before ever the dream began.

I was very superstitious when I was a teenager, and I had to fight against that because it made me feel anxious.

In 'The Way Back' survivors were all ordinary people, and that's the whole point, that's who I felt these people should be, and they shouldn't be that hero that stands out.

I've got one of four known Davy Crocket rifles. It's fantastic just to know it's one of the rifles that he actually used. His cousin had it.

If it's the truth you seek, then darling love you'll find.
