On a Friday night, I like to go out because my friends, who have been working normal hours, just want to let go after a stressful week at work.

Sexuality is such a small part of the make-up of someone; it's not who they are.

Sometimes a script comes along that really makes you sit up and pay attention... 'Life at These Speeds' has an emotional intensity that really kicked me in the guts.

I remember someone saying to my mom that it must be so glamorous to have a child acting in movies. They had no idea how hard it was for her.

I just think if you're going to do something, do it properly.

I fell in love at 14 and I remember that mad, tense feeling and all the mad things you do for the person - all those extremes and all the stuff you don't mind putting up with.

I dreamt of being an actor ever since I was young.

It's better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen.

I was lucky enough to get a very good agent at the age of 15, and got my first film when I was 16, so it's been rolling on since then.

I've spent a lot of my teenage years working on sets. I've missed out on more than just playing rugby, but I think I've managed to keep my feet on the ground and keep my friends around me.

One of the biggest things I used to struggle with was about things like going on holiday. Whereas all your friends can talk about something and plan something all year long, I know that I'm probably going to be away and I'm going to miss all of it. If a job comes up, you just can't be there.

The negative about acting is that you have to spend a great deal of time away from your friends and loved ones, but it's not like working a 9-5 job and only having two or three weeks off a year. I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly.

Every year I look at the 'GQ' Best-Dressed List and have thought what an honour it must be to be included. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my own face in there.

I like to wake up late, around 11 A.M., especially if I have been out the night before. Then I go to brunch with either my friends or my girlfriend. I then like to just chill out: read the papers, read some scripts and then take it very easy. If it's sunny, I go for a walk with my dog, Niles, in the countryside.

For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think, 'I should be reading these five scripts.'

I love the challenge of playing characters forced on life-changing emotional journeys. To work on a project with Billy Crudup and Sam Rockwell is just a dream come true.

I loved 'Gladiator' when I was young. Russell Crowe was a big inspiration; the fact that he plays my father in 'Noah' was amazing.

I loved 'Harry Potter' growing up. I'm dyslexic and a slow reader, but I could get through the thick ones in days!

I bike everywhere.

Some people call me Dougie Fresh. I don't know why.

Communication is important.

It's great to fall head over heels in love at a fast pace, and nothing's more romantic, but you need to look after yourself.

I can play the trumpet. Before I became an actor, I wanted to be the next Louis Armstrong. I started young and got to grade seven. When I turned 13, everyone started whipping out guitars, looking cool and joining rock bands, so I stopped playing.

My friends joke I'm a 90-year-old stuck in a young man's body.

David Cameron was a good-looking chap in his day!

What annoys people is the idea that somebody has everything, and they're allowed to get away with anything. It's the sense of entitlement that gets up people's noses.

If a rock band throws a TV set out of a hotel window, it's seen as anti-Establishment.

I've never been aware of the difference between so-called posh actors and working-class actors.

The British actors I've met and worked with have all been very supportive of each other.

I took up drama and did so much extracurricular work, like the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall's Saturday school. Acting is where I felt most comfortable and how I wanted to express myself.

I may not have seen my girlfriend for two or three months, but then we can spend two or three months together solidly. It's swings and roundabouts.

Dickens writes such brilliant characters and stories, and his themes and social commentary are still so relevant. I think that's why he's still so loved today.

For me, if Shakespeare was around today, he'd be writing screenplays - a big Hollywood movie.

I'm pretty romantic.

When I do my own wardrobe, I try to wear a designer from each of the countries I'm visiting: Tom Ford for New York, Hugo Boss for Germany, Burberry for England.

I love clothes and do sort of change my wardrobe a lot. But a thousand dollar jacket? I'd rather spend it on an experience, like traveling.

Darren Aronofsky is on another level. You get lost in a scene, and he'll come over and whisper something in your ear, and suddenly everything makes sense.

I love to go see films, even on my own. I just walk to the nearest cinema. There's nothing better than watching a movie alone; you can just sit there and zone in.

I try to find more interesting material with each project I do.

I'm definitely interested in taking on roles where I don't look like myself. But I'm not saying I'm going to go out of my way to play a disabled person in order to win an Oscar.

The first lead that I ever played was a young Boy George when I was seventeen. I shaved my eyebrows off. That's as far from leading man looks as you can get.

I love history, and Churchill is one of my favorite people to study. He's a fascinating, fascinating man.

I've always enjoyed being on a horse.

It's fun to play a dark character, but you go home at the end of the day not feeling very good about yourself. You go away feeling dirty. It seeps into the air.

If my feet ever left the ground, my mother would soon put them back down.

It's important to read as much as you can because you never know when you will find the best script that you want to do next. I'm always quite picky in what I read and what I go for.

I'm a huge festival fan. I love to dance and dance all night long.

I'm literally into any type of music imaginable.

'Romeo & Juliet' is still relevant and real.

I don't feel like I've ever kissed any of the people I have done for acting. That moment didn't exist for you; it existed for that person.
