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.
Success can allow you to try for greatness, can give you an opportunity to take a chance on something. I'm very blessed to have the success that I've had, and that's given me so many opportunities to work on being great.
I'm sure I was a great disappointment to many women because I wasn't Errol Flynn. But I'm me. I think that's got some merit.
I'm looking at doing things that challenge me.
It's so easy to forget what's important in life,
I want to have an impact on my son.
I'm going to start a new career as a singer, I think. I'm going to go the way of Russell Crowe.
I love this guy, ... I love the journey he goes on. It's a story we can all relate to, in terms of success and failure and the momentary happiness in life. What really makes people tick? What really makes them understand life?
I'm old-school English, so I suppose I'm quite protective - especially of time. Now that I'm a father, every moment is precious.
I want to play James Bond - are you kidding me? I'm putting my name in the ring!
Talk about your problems. There's no need to feel shy. It's always good to talk about issues that concern you.
Take time to enjoy the flight - read a good book, watch a film, catch up on emails and sleep.
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.
