I don't like my physique. Who does?

Addiction is a terrible thing.

I'm still not aware that I'm good looking.

No matter what happens in my career, I've always got 'The Fall.'

Throughout Ireland, there's a brilliant community of filmmakers and actors, and I guess there was always a lure to do some work in the place where I come from.

Nobody sane wants just to be famous.

One of my favorite things about my life is that I have the same group of friends that I grew up with. I love them so dearly, and we give each other a hard time.

It's funny how you get a bit older and become more accepting of things. When you're in your twenties, you're skeptical of everything. I definitely felt like that.

You'd be hard-pressed to find an actor who isn't a sex symbol somewhere.

You want roles that challenge you and that scare you a little and where you can really discover something, even about yourself, that maybe you didn't understand.

People attach too much to the idea of being a model, that you can only be a certain way to have done it. You will always be dealing with it. You're an actor who used to be a model who never trained; there are not many directors queuing up.

I don't really have choices in the material I get. So I have to make the choices in the way I play the characters.

I'm probably the worst person for 'Men's Health' to interview.

I'd always really wanted to act; but the modelling contracts came more easily.

I'm not saying that experiencing loss is why I can cope with darker worlds - I'm not saying that for a second - but I think it opens up a side of you in terms of work that wouldn't be as accessible had that stuff not happened.

I grew up in a very liberal place.

I think I've done two shoots in my underwear ever. They both happened to be for Calvin Klein. But that tag - 'underwear model' - I just can't get rid of it. And it's such a bizarre, specific thing - underwear. It's like I never modelled clothes.

People expect me to be stupid. I'm not saying I'm Stephen Fry, but it is amazing the perception people have.

A doctor once told me I have abnormal levels of adrenaline in my system.

My wife is a brilliant, hugely understanding person.

I feel pretty secure about who I am.

People ask me what Gillian Anderson's like to work with, and I have no idea!

I feel very tied to Ireland and the U.K. and that side of the world.

Mass appreciation doesn't always equate to something good.
