"If rape or arson, poison or the knife Has wove no pleasing patterns in the stuff Of this drab canvas we accept as life - It is because we are not bold enough!"

"With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk."

I'm a guy who is a little bit complicated and is a little bit in his own head and is not the most free-spirited, fun-loving kind of guy.

Improvisation, for me, is when the cameras start rolling, we don't know where we're going and let's just waste people's time and money.

I'm in bed by nine. Let's get on with it.

If I'm enjoying something, I'd like to be able to just have it all. Frankly, that's the way I'm approaching my career now. I'm a total workaholic.

I'd worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard. And I did that really well.

I play around with my Japanese Garden. Since Im half way to 70 today I need to start pruning trees and sharpening plants like an old fart.

I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could.

I went through voice coaching. I was absolutely terrified. I thought my knees were going to buckle, and the first couple of takes I sounded like a pubescent boy. I didn't realise I was going to have to do it live.

I've always gravitated towards people who are extreme. Whether its drugs, or kicking down doors. Normally, the people in my life had to escape to get back.

I enjoy doing an action scene. I'm not a purist as far as films go. If you want to do sex, great. As long as you do it well.

It's very rare to get a film script that has good dialogue. A lot of the time, you spend on film sets really fighting to find out how to say the words.

Prince William definitely isn't my type, he's too horsey-looking.

I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then.
