A lot of the TV shows, they do long hours, and they do a lot of days, and you don't get a lot of time. But the good thing is, if you get one that's made in L.A., or made in a place you want to be, you get to go home every night.
Scorsese will only work with brilliant material. And everyone wants to work with him.
There's so much more danger in someone where you really don't know what they're going to do, and you don't know what they're really capable of, rather than someone who's trying to be physically tough.
I pick up a lot of stuff from them, but I don't think there's any great trick to acting.
I'm very fussy. I'm very hard to please.
Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.
Every actor has a strength, and sometimes you just respond to things that you see yourself better at. I'm aware of what I can and can't do.
You should never assume about someone.
'The Bank Job,' for me, was a great opportunity for me to do some good acting, you know?
Every single day has a different combination of exercises. It always changes, and that's what keeps things interesting.
I go to this gym full of stunt men. There aren't any TVs or treadmills there. This is a spit-and-sawdust kind of place. It has a lot of great training aids - trampolines and bags and every weapon ever invented to do harm to a human being. If you want to know how to throw a knife, it's great.
I've smashed myself around, been on crutches, and broken a couple of bones when I was a kid.
Most of the scripts that land on my desk are stuff you read and go, 'Is someone really gonna make this?'
I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what's needed.
It's not like I am a junkie that wants to throw himself from very tall buildings, but some people are, and I love them kind of people.
We were diving in caves. It wasn't totally safe.
I like to meditate. But I get rid of my stress at the gym.
I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.
A lot of the characters I've played before are heroic or invincible in some ways and not tuned into fear and anxiety and pain.
I do like a lot of the '70s movies. I love Charles Bronson in 'Hard Times.' All my favorite movies where ones from yesteryear. The '70s was a good era. I love all those.
