I love action. I love doing fight scenes; I always have. I love it.
-
My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up. We were comfortable, but I didn't go to Oxbridge, and yet every American interviewer I get says to me, 'You're related to Charles II! Your grandfather was a baronet!' And it's infuriating, because that is a part of my history, but you're trying to turn me into a posh boy, and I'm not.
-
I don't do Twitter because I don't want to talk about myself more than I already have to.
-
I wear quite fitted clothing. I don't like wearing baggy stuff.
-
There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.
-
There's an unhealthy obsession in America with royalty and the class system.
-
We are fascinated with our own history, and we are fascinated with the Romans because they were millennia ago, and yet they still capture our imagination because they were actually so similar to us. They were very civilized. They had a very similar political system.
-
I have a wild streak, but I like to keep that very much for my friends.
-
I've always hated my voice. You sound different in your head when you hear it out loud.
-
My parents brought us up in a very clever way, which was that they saw what we were interested in naturally, and then they encouraged whatever that may be. When I started sharing a keen interest in drama and the theater, instead of steering me away from it, they encouraged me to see plays and think about drama school.
-
Wearing baggy clothes makes me look shorter. I just don't know anything about fashion. I know what I like wearing. I'm always accused that I wear too much black. I love wearing black.
-
I studied history when I was at school, at A-level, actually. I wouldn't profess to being very knowledgeable though, no.
-
You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.
-
I'm very lucky, I've got two very loving parents, still very much together, and always been very supportive.
-
I find you can lose yourself in an acting sense in a fight far more easily than you can in a dialogue scene, and I love that about it. We try as actors all the time: we strive just to completely sort of lose ourselves in the moment, and we never quite get there, but in a fight, you can do it in seconds; that is what I love about it.
-
On a serious level, I wouldn't tell the press if I was in a relationship or not. I wouldn't ever reveal that, because it takes you down a certain road... I have no desire to be courting the press with my love life.
-
I was called Kit from day one; really, I only found out my name was Christopher when I was 11.
-
The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.
-
Jeff Bridges is one of those icons that I put on a very high pedestal, so just to get to chill with him off-camera on cold, rainy days was surreal.
-
Any kind of horror video game where I'm the first-person player and I'm... I suddenly stop caring about the video game dude, and I'm like, I really don't want him to die,' and then the minute he dies, it upsets me. I can't play those games.
-
When I'm applying for a new passport or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.
-
I love New York; I love the city. It's impossible. It's a theme park of a city, isn't it.
-
I'm a terrible packer. I don't pack lots and lots because I think I'll wear everything, I pack a lot because I never know what I'm going to need. I always go over the weight limit.
-
The more you fly, the more unsettling it is, because you realize how much more likely it will be for you to crash. I am getting better at it, though.
