I wish I could just be in the movies and still enjoy everything else like a normal person.
I have good spacial awareness, and I'm pretty comfortable with a sword.
Obviously, I'm not a singer. I don't consider myself a singer.
Sofia Coppola is wonderful, and I'd love to work with her.
Shakespeare is a wonderful language to speak, but it's also a world to get your mind into thematically.
Men treat men differently than they would a woman.
I feel real confidence in working on the stage.
The philosophy of Buddhism is connected to everything. So it probably does have some connection with acting, yes.
For a kid in London, Hollywood seems like such a mythical place.
It's cool. It's the reason I get to do what I do.
It was amazing to be part of a community. A couple of girls even offered to knit me a scarf.
I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.
It's so easy to forget what's important in life,
It wasn't that easy, but hopefully I pulled it off and people would find it believable. I wanted it to be real. I wanted it to be my voice and not something I just put on,
