nice thinking strange-places
If I could get any semblance of, not really anonymity, but control over my public image, that would be nice. But no, I think it's impossible [to maintain that], for one thing. I don't think anyone can do that, apart from Denzel Washington. It's a strange place that the film industry is at, where you can just play superhero after superhero.
play careers dancer
They [Barnes Theatre Club] were a very good group, and for some reason when I finished the backstage thing, I just decided to that I should try to act. So I auditioned for Guys and Dolls and got a little tiny part as some Cuban dancer or something and then in the next play I got the lead part, and then I got my agent. So I owe everything to that little club.
twilight holiday play
I wanted to play piano in restaurants in the south of France. I went there on holiday once and I saw this guy playing in an old tuxedo. He was all disheveled, with a whisky glass on the piano. I thought that was the coolest thing. So what's happened to me with 'Twilight' isn't really what I'd planned.
kissing nuts knowing
I always get carried away when I'm kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It's embarrassing - not knowing what to say to each other.
doors want sometimes
It's not necessarily that satisfying getting monetary success, but sometimes it keeps the door open to make what you want to make.
thinking careers acting
I am now determined to do really weird parts but I think I overdo it in auditions so nobody really trusts me!
rome flying tears
When I was flying to Rome, we flew over London; I felt like bursting into tears. It's part of me, so I can't leave London behind for good.
school careers acting
I didn't want to get stuck in pretty, public school roles, or I knew I'd end up as some sort of caricature.
actors being-me meticulous
I like being meticulous and it's quite difficult as an actor to have that much control.
true-friend true-friendship evolution
I see love as an evolution of true friendship.
years mind lasts
Just last year I couldn't even get a date, and then this year… it's so bizarre that everybody just changes their mind at the same time.
thinking cds slim
I was obsessed with Eminem when I was younger. When he first came out I was about 12 and fanatical about his 'Slim Shady' CD. I think he's a genius.
character thinking interesting
I think it's such a risky thing doing interviews. I try to limit the amount of interviews that I do because no one is that interesting especially when you're not really saying anything. And I don't particularly want to be an character in society or whatever.
gossip naked pay
I read some gossip thing saying, because I looked really uncomfortable in a paparazzi photo or something, they're like, 'He should get used to it. That's the price to pay if you're getting $12m a movie'. If I'm getting paid $12m a movie I'd walk around naked. That's all nonsense. I don't know who makes that stuff up. Even the price for the first one was nonsense.
