bits british tv
I did some British TV and bits and bobs here and there. I've been lucky.
bit
Inherently, I'm not a huge extrovert, so I actually find interviews and all the glamour to be a bit challenging sometimes.
armor bit body break connect everybody love protect trying wear
Everybody has a bit of body armor they wear to protect themselves, and love is about trying to break it down. You have to see who a person really is and connect with her to break that armor.

I'm a bit of a dude. I like meat. But I am buying it more responsibly, where it's more sourced responsibly.
change family hollywood love parties photo rock roll unless
I have the same friends I've had for years and the same family. Unless you love rock n' roll and Hollywood parties and having your photo taken, I don't think necessarily things need to change too much.
I always think that you finish one movie, you start a new one, and you think, 'OK. I did that last one. Now I've learned. I know how this works.' Then by the end of the movie, you think, 'No, I don't, really.'
category exist fit forcing humans people
'Divergent' is a story about people who don't fit into a category - that is a big part of the message - but it's also about conformity and forcing people into these simple archetypes. At the end of the day, humans don't exist like that. We're multifaceted.
forcing image movies prove pushed six spectacle throat true trying whereas
We're in a world where masculinity, especially with these big spectacle movies, is often pushed by rippling six packs and forcing an image down someone's throat trying to prove masculinity. Whereas I think true masculinity comes from having a strong sense of self.
asked
You question, as anybody should, the overarching worth of your profession, right? So that's a question I've often asked myself.
love
You know what actors are like. You can sometimes be like, 'Darling, darling, we love each other,' but you don't really know them.
allen extremely films great somewhat vast woody work
Working with Woody Allen was extremely gratifying. He has such a vast catalog of great work that doing one of his films was somewhat unreal.
job
While I find my job as an actor challenging, I also think that there's fun in that challenge.
There were times I when I'd go out and have some fun, but I wouldn't say I was a 'playa.'
nature scene
Sometimes the nature of a big movie, the nature of the material, the scene doesn't have the richness that you'd want it to.
