I'm constantly trying to find something that's different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That's not for me.
Sergei read the play great and he managed to find me over there.
I just tried to stay focused, stay in the game (after the throwing error). We need this conference win.
Anyone who's got a guitar, you like to pick it up. I can play a couple of songs, some '50s rock and roll, a bit of Elvis. That's it, really - I'm not a musician, I'm not a singer.
The buzz you get when you're playing a song and everyone is screaming and dancing and what have you and singing along is incredible.
It's funny because if you ever ask anyone in England to try and do a Beatles accent, no one knows what they really sound like. If you ask anyone in America, they would try and give it a go. English people just know their songs.
There just isn't any more meat on the bone. In fact, the bone is being cut.
'Pulp Fiction' was probably one of the first films I ever saw that really kind of took effect on me. I was about four years old - obviously wasn't supposed to be seeing that film; my sister kind of sneaked it out and we got to see it. She's older than me. That was something I always used to watch.
The thing about travelling is that you work hard and play hard, but you can do all those things without your parents knowing.
I defended myself. I had no idea who it was.
I can't think of anything worse than trying to schmooze someone with the idea that you're an actor.
I don't like to be me. I'm not so comfortable being me on screen because then I'd be a presenter. I'm not Jimmy Fallon.
