I've met some of the most beautiful women in the world, and I can tell you lots of them are the most unattractive people I've ever met.
-
I suppose 'Worried About the Boy' was a brave choice, but only in the sense that if I didn't get it right, my career would be over before it had begun.
-
I try to find more interesting material with each project I do.
-
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 don't necessarily want to hear about my talent or my greatness as an actor.
-
I'm pretty romantic.
-
Romeo and Juliet were stunning and beautiful, but a lot of the other characters surrounding them were caricatures.
-
My friends joke I'm a 90-year-old stuck in a young man's body.
-
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.
-
I just think if you're going to do something, do it properly.
-
To be able to experience a thousand different lives within my lifetime is something that always appealed to me. I wasn't content with just being one person for the rest of my life.
-
I get bored quite easily, so I like to keep my mind entertained by challenging myself.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
If a rock band throws a TV set out of a hotel window, it's seen as anti-Establishment.
-
I think Hollywood is interesting. As an actor, Hollywood would be a horrible place to go if you weren't actually invited.
-
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.
-
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 dreamt of being an actor ever since I was young.
-
'Noah,' for me, wasn't a decision about taking on the Bible. It was about working with Darren Aronofsky.
-
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 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.
