Ever since I saw sexy Beast I've been trying to get the cockney thing down.
I'm so envious of that genetic wiring that immediately puts a smile on your face. My genetic wiring just puts creases in my eyebrows.
Theater will always be a huge part of my life. The high I get from doing theater is not, quite honestly, matched by many things. I like the fact that when you step out on the stage, for that given night, for better or for worse, you are the master of the boards. I love it to death.
No matter how bad the individual, everybody has reasons for why they do what they do.
I work out because that's my job, but what I enjoy about it, beyond the vanity, is the Zen of it. I like getting out of my head, and one great way to do that is to sweat your face off. And to know that, if you're thinking of anything else, you're not working intensely enough.
Fear runs our lives a lot of the time. You can face it head-on, or you can hide in your bunker.
I talk to myself, especially in the car.
Women think that men don't talk about their feelings with guys. We do talk to friends about relationships, but it's succinct - 10 minutes, then we move on.
My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.
Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating.
For me growing up, Christmas time was always the most fantastic, exciting time of year, and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also, maybe, they were in collusion with Santa Claus.
Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves, the misfits.
I don't need to worry about that, that's always there on a slow simmer. The muscle I have to work on is being more present.
I don't actually drive trains. I'm an actor.
