Life sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we plan or hope for.
I 'm at the beginning of my career and I hope I get to get the opportunity to play someone diverse and dark and more serious in the story.
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,
I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.
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?
I have good spacial awareness, and I'm pretty comfortable with a sword.
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.
Shakespeare is a wonderful language to speak, but it's also a world to get your mind into thematically.
Obviously, I'm not a singer. I don't consider myself a singer.
When I'm in the U.K. - and I'm here more than people would think - I tend to keep a very low profile.
