names
Unfortunately, Poots is the name that I've been graced with for my life, but it's not short for anything.
crazy play superhero
Once you play a superhero, is there any way back again? Once you're a superhero, it's just crazy.
distance mean past
I think any relationship that is normal - I mean, there's no normal relationship, but in terms of a flawed relationship, there's always gonna be awkward moments within that because you're addressing things that the world is throwing at you, whether that's distance or whether that's where this is going or other people and past relationships, all these factors.
change people wonderful
You collect people to take with you. Some people change, other people don't... it's wonderful because I've met some incredible friends
car sound sides
Well, in terms of the filming with the car, you always wanted to be on the side which the cameras weren't, because - and it sounds ridiculous, but getting in and out of that car, all in leather, in the heat, was a problem.
new-york real uptown
But in New York, it’s different—even uptown it’s really grand, and there’s no real segregation there. It’s all mixed up.
I do admit to being slightly in love with Christopher Walken.
scare i-can
I can scare myself like a pro.
couple years littles
In terms of driving, I actually don't have a driver's license, and it's kind of ridiculous. I've lived in Los Angeles for a couple of years and just have somehow managed to avoid taking the test, which I did last week and failed. I couldn't find the honker. I felt bad about it, but it's just a little bit embarrassing, I guess, to be in this film and not have a license.
new-york real white
I fell in love with it. Walking around just feels so cinematic. I find the aris- tocratic parts of London so unattractive and angular; the architecture is so white and gated. But in New York, it’s different—even uptown it’s really grand, and there’s no real segregation there. It’s all mixed up.
brother my-birthday mama
I was very aware of Jeff Buckley. My brother actually bought me The Mamas And The Papas and Jeff Buckley for my birthday when I was in my early teens.
character thinking psychology
I never personalize anything because I think that can be dangerous. For me, the best way is - this may sound pretentious - but its to breathe the character and get into the psychology of it.
thinking sometimes crushed
Sometimes I think you just have to decide if you're going to stand up and get on with it or if you're going to be crushed and threatened.
believe roles cracks
You can tell when someone is putting on a role. If someone really believes in what theyre saying, its quite hard to find cracks.
