I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot. But I don't want to kill people. I'd hate to.

Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.

Acting advice is a bit like your parents teaching you how to drive a car. You know they're right, but you still kind of want them to shut up a bit.

American actors are all muscular, tanned, white teeth and they have this indestructible confidence. We British are all... Dare I say it? Pessimistic.

As a child I'd get given parts as a tree.

For me, comfort is paramount.

I always feel kind of awkward when I look at pictures of myself. Watching videos of myself is really uncomfortable.

I can see why there's a misconception that it's easier when your parents are actors, but it doesn't work out at all. In fact, it's the reverse.

I don't look on the Internet; it's a world of pain.

I haven't read the 'Twilight' books. But it's everywhere so I feel like I know it. Edward, Bella, Jacob, etc. but... I haven't read them.

I like reading, free diving and hiking. But my favorite thing to do is travel anywhere in Greece. I love everything about that place.

I like to think that at the end of a show, you can just take your costume off and go to the pub.

I never wear sneakers. I don't feel comfortable in them.

I think New York is more stylish than London.

I've got my dad's height and smoking habit. But I think I've got my mum's looks and sensibilities.

If you try to bring 'teen drama,' you end up doing nothing but pouting.

It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.

My name has opened doors and slammed doors shut.

Once you become the story off-screen, you are less likely to be the onscreen one.

The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives, like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
