My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.

A person can't know what happiness is without experiencing sadness. And I think that's healthy.

I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.

I was a show-off as a kid and loved to dress up. I was constantly in costume, drawing mustaches on with eyeliner and letting my sister plait my hair and all that.

I went to the Avengers: Age of Ultron and I'm like, "These guys are Olympians now." There's no place for a Walter Matthau in a movie anymore.

I had this alter ego where I would go to the theater with mom. I wasn't embarrassed by it; it was separate for me.

I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy.

I'm not someone who has a lengthy attention span, and that applies to my exercise routine as well.

I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big films.

When you're working with people you've seen in hundreds of films... it's a bit crazy to step outside yourself for a minute and think, 'This is surreal.' But I try not to get too bogged down in that.

I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.

Without God, right and wrong are just personal beliefs. Personal opinions. I think shoplifting is okay, you don’t.

It is fine to be committed to work, but our minds need time to recover and our bodies need to move.

I want to get some sleep, so if there's something mind-numbingly disturbing you want to show me, can we just get it over with?

Every insult is an opportunity.

One has two duties - to be worried and not to be worried.

I am never as clear about any matter as when I have finished writing about it.

Whatever happens is going to happen, whether you're sitting by the phone anxious and worried about it or not.

The plant never lapses into mere arid functionalism; it fashions and shapes according to logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything to attain the highest artistic form.

We've gotten to the point where everybody's got a right and nobody's got a responsibility.

There is a good deal in a man's mode of eating.
