I'm not clumsy, I'm accident-prone!
Every job I do, I like to think it makes me better or I learn things. It's all about how much something's going to stretch me or test me.
I don't know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It's very much about the class structure.
As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.
I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I'm really bad at it. I'm just a terrible drawer. I can't draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can't draw a straight line.
Fame is damaging when people become reliant on it for their sense of self, and their identity, when fame is linked to how you see yourself.
I was fortunate enough to meet Sophie Dahl. And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.
People do incredible things for love, particularly for unrequited love.
England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.
Because of the life I've had, I'd grown up quicker than most people.
I seem to be a long-term relationship kinda guy.
I meet hundreds of people, and I'm not going to remember them. But every single one of them will remember their interaction with me.
That's what fame does to you. You acquire another self.
My preparation is mainly just knowing the lines and getting in and knowing where your character is, knowing what it's about and having ideas that you can put in on the day.
As far as I can tell, most actors' main motivation is self-doubt and neuroses.
Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.
My parents are left-wing, and I would describe myself as that. But also, you know what? I wouldn't describe myself as that. Because I don't have to. Because I'm not a political party. Most people are a little bit of each, and we change our mind on various issues.
I know I'm not a coal miner, but I do long hours and I never complain, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be. So, yeah, that's how I'd define myself. I want to do it right, and prove people wrong once and for all about the myth of child stars.
It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.
I want to prove to people that I'm an actor and not just a character.
