Articles always end up being about my appearance. I had a conversation with Jude Law: he told me people's obsession with looks goes away after a while.

I get bored quite easily, so I like to keep my mind entertained by challenging myself.

I tried to forget about playing Romeo in 'Romeo and Juliet' and just think about him as a normal guy, as a normal character, and just try and approach him the same I would every other character.

When you're forced to watch something in school, you never really enjoy it; you sort of rebel against it in a certain way.

I looked on IMDB, at the message boards there, and someone had posted something about a sheep having more talent than me.

I love art. My sister is an artist and my mother is a painter, so it is very much in the family. I haven't ever wanted to be a fine artist myself - my sister robbed me of my artistic talent, I think.

I would hope I was raised polite and charming.

When I was younger, I looked a lot older than I was. They have these working laws in England where you have to be 16: if you're over 16, you don't have to be restrained by working hours and things like that. In America, it's actually 18.

Yeah, 'Requiem for a Dream' - it'll put you off a lot of things, that film, that's for sure.

I saw 'The Fountain' because my friend came over one day and said, 'This is my favorite movie I've ever seen. Please watch this,' and I watched it, and that was amazing.

You can have an amazing director and terrible script, and the film's not going to be great. But if you have the most incredible script and an okay director, you could still get a really good film.

I think I'm low-maintenance.

External beauty is a bizarre thing to me.

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.

'Romeo & Juliet' is still relevant and real.

I'm literally into any type of music imaginable.

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

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.

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

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.

I've always enjoyed being on a horse.

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

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'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.
