I am comfortable playing the fool, I think.
I think if actors don’t think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can’t do comedy.
I can’t run. I start getting twinges. If I were filmed running, it would be awful.
I swim a lot. I swim most days.
When I was at school, I was in choirs more than anything else, from a very young age, about 9 years old. And then I started taking drum lessons.
I love music, and I love singing.
When you’re doing a film, people are always telling you exactly what to do. Literally, your own decisions are taken away from you.
I have done lots of music projects in my life and some of them I am more proud of than others.
I only remember the end of my dreams, like waking up at a steering wheel, or falling.
I actually went to university.
I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege.
I didn’t have any pets growing up.
I don’t really know who I am as an actor: the best thing would be to experiment with it for the next 30 years and never really find out.
I don’t really see the point in making a film unless you can think of a good reason to do it.
My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.
Maybe Oliver Stone doesn’t lend himself well to remakes or sequels, because he does them so well the first time.
I’m probably a little too uninhibited.
I’m not that kind of Bob Dylan, tortured creative.
I’m not really an animal person.
I would like to work with whoever would like to have me.
