I have good spacial awareness, and I'm pretty comfortable with a sword.
Viggo Mortensen had the biggest impact on me in terms of approach, dedication, intention, and artistic outlook, and I'm nowhere close to how good he is as an artist, and I wouldn't even put myself in the same category as an actor.
Be comfortable. I think if you're comfortable, you exude confidence, and that leads to good style.
I pinch myself daily at the good fortune of my life, you know, in many ways.
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 was really good not riding a horse and having a sword for once,
I'm amazed that things have panned out the way they have. I always say I'm so lucky, though my mum always says, 'You make your own luck.'
The philosophy of Buddhism is connected to everything. So it probably does have some connection with acting, yes.
Everybody thinks I'm very clean and sort of upright, don't they?
Men treat men differently than they would a woman.
I wish I could just be in the movies and still enjoy everything else like a normal person.
I am very different to how people think I am. It's the characters I play that they are responding to.
Sofia Coppola is wonderful, and I'd love to work with her.
