As far as I can tell, most actors' main motivation is self-doubt and neuroses.
I'm not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I'm a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things.

I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool.
There's no shame in enjoying a quiet life. And that's been the realization of the past few years for me.
I think one of my favorite things to do is just lock myself up in a small room and listen to music and watch films for a day. Also I just like seeing my friends. We have pizza parties which means I get four friends round, we eat a pizza and we're really lazy and we play PlayStation.
I think I have just always had an awareness that when you go to a premiere and people start cheering and shouting your name and stuff, they are shouting at a perception of you that they have.
I'd love to play Puck in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'
My idea of relaxation is not lying down by a beach. I have to move around, do stuff. Though I'm a massive quiz show person.
I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest.
I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.
And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.
I was fortunate enough to meet Sophie Dahl. And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.
What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.
I'm a serial monogamist. I'm not one of those people that can date loads of people at the same time, it's all too complicated.
When you're seventeen to early twenties, that's the time you're trying to work out who you are. If you're trying to make some kind of artistic or creative impact, that's the age when you start to figure out how to do that.
As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you're always ultimately going to be saying somebody else's words. I don't think I'd have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.

I grew up listening to show tunes in the back of the car.
Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.
