Vampires are immortal, you can do whatever you want, and get away with it. And there's the seduction part of course, sex is a big part of the vampire thing.

Even when you're producing difficult material and you get emotional, after it you feel good; you feel like you've done a good job, or had an emotional release. I've always enjoyed that, but you go home and think, that was a good day's work, and you move on.

Being part of 'Natural Nylon' is a great way to have an influence on the films that get out there. I love films and it gives me an input.

I always know I can die at any moment.

I consider myself really lucky and I always have done. My approach is that if I know I'm relaxed and happy, then I will do my best work.

I don't want to talk about the specifics of other people's performances compared with my own. I'd never do that.

I like to play different types roles, but I'd like to do a comedy next.

I spent a couple of months just riding a bike doing my own training in the streets.

I used a bike in London and that's it. I learnt a lot about biking, and really got into. Now I cycle regularly.

I'd go anywhere to work, so long as it's worth it.

I'm a pretty happy person, to be honest with you.

I'm glad I don't live in Primrose Hill any more. I couldn't even walk through the park. You never invite that kind of attention.

I've never taken myself too seriously, I'm not into that.

If I thought of myself as a movie star, I'd be an idiot. I don't know anyone who thinks like that. I don't even know movie stars who think like that.

Some people can handle fame, some can't.

You're always looking for good scripts and when they're not always forthcoming you go mad.

I don't think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones aren't. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end.

I really wouldn't want to live in America. I found New York claustrophobic and dirty. I missed England when I was there, simple things like smells and the British sense of humor.

If you're serious about what you're doing, you've got to keep your head and follow your instinct. Maybe you won't reach the same dizzy heights as others, but you will get something back.

New York and LA are both great places to visit, but I wouldn't want to live in either of them now. I find New York extremely claustrophobic and dirty. LA is quite a nice place. But there's no hustle and bustle, no street life.
