 I bought a house, and I've been decorating it. |
| In a work capacity I'm only interested in acting and producing. |
| I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year. |
| If I'd seen a grown man beating a crippled boy, of course I'd intervene. If my father died and left my mother destitute, it's your instinct to take care of her. So when I started to think about it in those terms, it started to make sense to me. |
| It's generally more fun playing the villain. |
| And I just want to work with good directors and good people. |
| The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there. |
| So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity. |
| I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult. |
| It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide. |
| I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage. |
| There are definitely worse people to be compared with. I think Brad Pitt makes interesting decisions. |
| I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon. |
| Good roles are hard to come by, and whether they're a few lines or a lead, you snap 'em up when they come along. |
| I love hip hop music, I make hip hop music. |
| No, I do a bunch of things to entertain myself. I paint, I make music, I take photographs. |
| If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it. |
| In the early part of your career you are always compared with somebody until you can stand on your own two feet. |
| I watch these actors who when you go to buy a pint of milk you see them smiling on the cover of 20 magazines. Then when you see them in a film it's hard to believe the character because you just see them everywhere. |
| I'm happy being an actor, it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just lucky I got to do it so early. |
