I'm a terrible dancer.

Sport is not my thing.

I don't do glamorous things.

I've been a big blagger all my life.

The Blue Ridge Mountains are an incredible place.

The one thing I couldn't imagine is stopping still.

I get bored quickly. Always have. Short attention span.

I've never thought it was a good idea to act back-to-back.

I don't think you can decide how famous or not you become.

Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around.

I'm only really interested in taking a part if it's nothing like me.

People say I have a scary face. I find that to be a mixed compliment.

That routine thing is not comforting to me. It's the opposite to that.

Until civil rights are enjoyed by all of us, we're simply not civilized.

I'm not a big fan of people telling each other what to do, I'll say that.

I think you can decide how much of yourself you're willing to make public.

I was bullied a lot... doing anything overly well was punished by the kids.

I don't really use the Internet or the newspapers to find out about people.

I believe in allowing an audience the opportunity to make up their own mind.

I find it quite unsettling if I'm doing the same thing that I did yesterday.

If you are going to have any chance of replicating life, you need to live it.

I've never really thought about settling down anywhere. I like to keep moving.

Even if it's a bit blunt, I really appreciate somebody being straight with you.

You fire blanks, but the guns eject real brass, hot cartridges. They're, like, 400 degrees.

I don't love plays. I don't love doing the same thing, every night, for 100 nights in a row.

One of my uncles took me to my first movie in a cinema - 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.'

I grew up in the countryside in the middle of nowhere in England and got out as soon as I could!

If I make a film about now, the minute it was done, it wouldn't be about now; it'd be about then.

I think saying you're bad at something is rather wonderful because then it doesn't matter anymore.

I love learning things, whether it's a language or Philippine knife-fighting or the Viennese waltz.

I'm studying Krav Maga, which is an Israeli form of self defense. It's very deadly and without rules.

I wasn't interested in football. It made me different. I wore glasses, had bad hair, a funny name, you name it.

It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.

I'll tell you, there's no goodies and baddies in the world, there's just people with intentions that sometimes clash.

When I come home, all I do is cook. I love cooking, so I go to markets, buy food, cook it for friends. I love doing that.

One of the things I noticed in my career that gave me a lot of happiness early on was realising we don't have any control.

I've never been to war, and I would never presume to fully understand the horrors that that kind of experience can impart.

I really enjoy the fact that the very boring, normal person that I am isn't kind of interesting to anyone. It's fine by me.

I find it easier to approach things from a critical angle that otherwise may seem daunting because I'm used to being scared.

I really love living in cities where the people living above, below and next to you are from totally different worlds to you.

Eating cold tuna fish out of a tin on a porch while two people are in love across a lake - I think that's desperately lonely.

I'm a big fan of imagination. I think it's the strongest tool we have, and there are some things that you just can't practice.

The image of all the cars leaving pastel-colored people at the same time has never really left me as an anti-ambition for life!

I was quite solitary for 'Hitman.' I was quite apart. He struck me as a very sad individual. There was a mournful quality there.

I find dipping one's toe into all of these people's lives is one of the major exciting points of being an actor. This dilettantism.

The most contemporary film I can think of is your standard romantic comedy, but the minute you make them, they already look so aged.

I'm a dual citizen in a way. I live in the States and have a green card, so my connection to British politics is almost nonexistent.

I went to a drama club when I was little, but it was more of an excuse to flirt with girls than anything else. We never put on plays.

I can only go places because I know that I can go away from them, if that makes sense. I like the gypsy lifestyle that filming affords.

Becoming that guy who does one thing is not very interesting. I'm lucky and proud to have been involved in period films and action films.
