I love a good wool suit, and I appreciate the fact that it's a natural fiber. I know where it comes from, and I know how it's bred. And it's built to last. It breathes, and it feels good.
Your voice is important - it gives away everything about you. The mouth is a muscle you have to work like you'd work at the gym.
You need mystery. You actually do. I think that's what foreign women, French women in particular, are good at. There's still a sense that you need to keep some of the unknown because that's where the soul resides, or something.
The Spanish love their paella, and they love their jamon. And they love their football.
My father was a sheep shearer, so I grew up in a caravan; we'd go around from shearing shed to shearing shed. My mother always wanted us to be educated, so I went to a school.
I do want to have holidays and see my family and friends.
I come from a very, very small town. There were no other actors around. I never met any actors. A lot of those times when I'd be out in the sheds with my dad, I'd step outside, and there's just nothing out there but thousands of acres, forty thousand sheep, and miles of nothing. And so my mind would just wonder about what else was out there.
I was particularly happy to do a potential franchise where I was not putting on a mask or a pair of tights.
I haven't gotten jobs because I'm famous or I have a big Twitter feed - it's primarily directors. People employ me because I'm right for the part. But then, everybody needs a bit of luck, being in the right place at the right time. You just gotta be in that place for that opportunity to come by.
I am sick of living out of a suitcase.
Yes, films need to make their money back - it's an expensive business, and people need to be paid for what's involved - but just because you can, it doesn't mean you should.
The guy I read and I love is Irvin Yalom.
'Zero Dark Thirty' raised the stakes. It raised the stakes in cinema, man. I don't think people really know how to grasp what type of film this is.
My favorite part of any project is the preparation. It's where you get to meet the people, the experts.
In terms of publicity and interviews, well, it's really hard in this modern world to keep a sense of mystery.
I can't complain about the roles that have come my way.
As an actor, the first thing you learn in drama school is you never judge.
At the end of the day, I'm an actor. I'm not here to sell other stuff or use off-screen things to generate whether or not I work. If I'm any good, I'll work; if I'm not, I won't.
With acting, you do want to get every job, and you're trying to get every audition, but then you reach a certain stage where you start to kind of gravitate toward the stories and the people that have a similar heartbeat.
I believe it's worth observing terrible things people have done as clearly and rationally as we can to show that our monsters are not caricatures.
