When you're given something new, it's always exciting 'cause you're the first one to do it. You're not having to live up to any expectations, or be compared to anyone who's ever done it before.

For me personally, everything is on a kiss.

It's really important to draw the line on what we do as actors.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

You can see when an actor gets bored: Their eyes go dead. I promised myself I'd never let that happen. If it does, I'll go and live on a desert island for a year.

When I met you you were oh so sweet, now you give me the bread and you take all the meat.
