If a rock band throws a TV set out of a hotel window, it's seen as anti-Establishment.
I've never been aware of the difference between so-called posh actors and working-class actors.
The British actors I've met and worked with have all been very supportive of each other.
I took up drama and did so much extracurricular work, like the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall's Saturday school. Acting is where I felt most comfortable and how I wanted to express myself.
I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly. It's swings and roundabouts.
Dickens writes such brilliant characters and stories, and his themes and social commentary are still so relevant. I think that's why he's still so loved today.
For me, if Shakespeare was around today, he'd be writing screenplays - a big Hollywood movie.
I'm pretty romantic.
When I do my own wardrobe, I try to wear a designer from each of the countries I'm visiting: Tom Ford for New York, Hugo Boss for Germany, Burberry for England.
I love to go see films, even on my own. I just walk to the nearest cinema. There's nothing better than watching a movie alone; you can just sit there and zone in.
I believe if you're prepared to kill the animal, you're allowed to eat it.
I try to find more interesting material with each project I do.
The first lead that I ever played was a young Boy George when I was seventeen. I shaved my eyebrows off. That's as far from leading man looks as you can get.
I love history, and Churchill is one of my favorite people to study. He's a fascinating, fascinating man.
I've always enjoyed being on a horse.
It's fun to play a dark character, but you go home at the end of the day not feeling very good about yourself. You go away feeling dirty. It seeps into the air.
It's important to read as much as you can because you never know when you will find the best script that you want to do next. I'm always quite picky in what I read and what I go for.
I'm a huge festival fan. I love to dance and dance all night long.
'Romeo & Juliet' is still relevant and real.
I don't feel like I've ever kissed any of the people I have done for acting. That moment didn't exist for you; it existed for that person.
