I'd like to make a film musical. That's really my dream.
-
I was a weed. Such a skinny little weed. I just couldn't put on weight; I couldn't put on muscle. I was the oddest shape. And I thought that was it: that's how I'd look for the rest of my life. And I'd beat myself up about it so much. But you change an awful lot. You're 16. Your body's not even halfway to what it'll end up being.

You have to have a lot of money to go to college. It's not cheap.

Good suits don't come from anywhere, though - I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.
-
Living in New Zealand, it's like a different world - it is a different world. It's very, very cool.
-
And I love to cook! I've impressed hundreds of women with my cooking. And they always come back for more.
-
Singing seems to be inherent in Filipino, just as it is in my race. That's why I have this affinity with Filipinos.
-
I'm basically turning my apartment into an armory.
-
I think starting a cinema career late in life has more advantages than disadvantages.
-
Costume is a massive thing. I think costume makes you stand differently.
-
British actors are renowned for being great villains in movies, like Bond films, all the rest of it.
-
For my part, if the audience wanted to see Dracula again, I would be happy to reprise the role. It is an immortal character that can appear anywhere because it lies beyond time. Possibilities are endless.
-
In the future, I would like to do more films with contemporary themes. Perhaps comedy, which is something I have done in theater but not in cinema.
-
The Sixties was all about style and a certain look. But what was interesting about 1963 was that it was pre-Beatles, so the clothes of that time, especially the suits, were very different from the clothes post-Beatlemania.
-
I always wanted to get into proper shape.
-
I felt alive when I read a script and acted out a scene, or sang a song. It was my dream. I'm just very lucky that I'm still doing it and able to earn a living from it.
-
A watch is a fashion statement, and it says something about the person wearing it.
-
I don't think you should spend that much time in the gym. Don't sit around between sets too long. If you want to burn some calories, keep the sets tight. Give yourself 30 seconds to a minute between each set. Supersetting is brilliant.
-
In 10 years, I'd love to live near the sea, in a warmer climate. I could see myself with three dogs... and it'd be great to share them with someone else.
-
For your own self-respect and sanity, your creative freedom, you have to be careful that you don't rely too much on other people's opinions of what you do because it can stunt and inhibit you.
-
It's hard work just being on set 14 hours a day.
-
I had a very difficult upbringing.
-
The truth of the matter is roles like James Bond are the ones that I look up to as probably the best roles ever to play. So that's probably my ultimate goal one day: to play James Bond.

The first time I was flown to L.A. for a screen test was an incredibly nerve-racking experience.
