Face it, I didn't become famous until I took my clothes off.

If you want to change who you are, you have to change what you do.

I feel more and more at ease, because I think the older I get, the less pressure there is. People say, 'Well, he's not cutting edge because he's not in his twenties, so he's not expected to be.'

I don't consider myself any great sage of fashion or style, whatever people may want to think.

There is no defence for my actions which I sincerely regret. [on an affair with nanny Daisy Wright]

I only want to do the kind of work that I would like to go and see, that`s going to teach me something new, that involves working with people I can learn something from and I can give something to.

I've always thought Prince Charming in Cinderella was the most boring role; I'd rather be the Wicked Witch.

There is something nice about wearing the same thing everyday, having that go-to.

I think the message of peace is for everyone.

I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.

I've never been a fan of just doing. I like to do things for a reason.

I suppose I'm intrigued with the bad traits of society, because I'm a part of society, and the bad traits pose the dangerous questions for our future.

I don't want to do anything that I'm not passionate about.

The other nice thing about the robes is that they keep you cool in the summer, and we were filming sometimes in Rome, where it was sometimes over 100 degrees.

Look, how many stories have I broken? Hundreds. How many have proved to be untrue? There isn't one.

It's interesting to see how people bring different things to them. I think it comes down to the universal appeal of the Holmes-Watson that they can keep being discovered in different ways.

Landing a role now is not based on my looks - more on my acting ability.

Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.

I'm not Tom Cruise. Very few British actors are. If you look at the body of work I've done it's pretty obvious I'm not going to make a 'Mission: Impossible.'

I'm kind of ashamed to be a celebrity. I don't understand wanting to read about other people's dirty laundry. I think celebrity is the biggest red herring society has ever pulled on itself.

I'm pretty certain that if there is a will there is a way.

I need someone to give me a part where I play the piano so I can learn it. I would love that.

I never thought I had to forge a family, but it felt the most natural thing that ever happened to me - meeting someone and becoming a father.
