When I'm in the U.K. - and I'm here more than people would think - I tend to keep a very low profile.

My first priority is trying to protect my family.

Obviously, I'm not a singer. I don't consider myself a singer.

Life is going to unfold as it should because life always does.

Think about finding out when you're 13 that your dad is not your dad. It's like, okay, take it on the chin and keep going. No choice, really.

Fear is not a friend of mine. But it's something to have a healthy awareness of.

The world throws you out of your body, especially the cyberworld.

Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.

Low budget movies make lots of money.

My cousin once told me, 'You're tall, you're handsome - and you're gonna have to apologize for it the rest of your life.' He imparted that information to me.

I had plenty of vices growing up.

I used to ride motorbikes and drive cars like everything was a racetrack; it was ridiculous. It wasn't because I thought it was cool; it was just because I loved living on the edge. But I've chilled.

Since I've had a son, I want to be around to see him grow up.

I want to do things that terrify me, unless they're going to kill me.

My childhood was kind of complicated. I have an older sister, but my father, my mother's husband, died when I was four years old. So I only had my mum and sister, really.

When I finished the trilogy of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, I had a gear shift and thought, 'I need to take a moment to smell the roses.'

The philosophy of Buddhism is connected to everything. So it probably does have some connection with acting, yes.

Drama class was one of the only areas at school I responded to.

Mark Ruffalo is just an amazing guy and an amazing director.

Wanting to be a rock star, I get it. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, dude! The freedom!'

I'm going to start a new career as a singer, I think. I'm going to go the way of Russell Crowe.

I am a Buddhist.
