“The only thing I can do is wipe my arse, brush my teeth, turn up and do the best work I can.”

I love people. People are lovely creatures. I’m one myself, so I love to see people happy.

It doesn’t matter who you are. What matters is your plan.

Vanity is normal in performers. Does it bother other people? All the time. But nine times out of 10, that says more about them than you.

A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don’t feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine. I’d love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I’m not one of the boys.

Being an only child, I didn’t have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.

The lack of carbohydrates can make you a little crazy.

I’m not a big guy anyway. I’m only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for ‘Batman,’ 179 for ‘Warrior.’ Films make you look big.

We’re all flawed human beings and we all have a cauldron of psychosis which we have to unravel as we grow older and find the way we fit in to live our lives as best as possible.

I hate publicists and publicity. But I love the people.

I have to make my bones with Hollywood to get in. And when I do maybe I’ll metamorphose from Mr. Muscles or whatever it is I am now and become an irascible tosser.

I think online dating is a way of procuring people. Like Facebook and Myspace, it’s the way that people connect now and procure small children and sometimes dodgy relationships. I don’t think it’s very healthy.

I love dogs. Like, A LOT. They’re my favorite animal. Ever.

If you look round Hollywood there’s no end of white smiles and six packs. Long lines of beautiful people lining up to be incredible on film.

Ju jitsu is very Buddhist. All that we fear we hold close to ourselves to survive. So if you’re drowning and you see a corpse floating by, hang on to it because it will rescue you.

It’s much less daunting once you’ve put your foot on the road to it. I’m a notorious couch potato and I don’t like exercise. Half an hour of physical exercise, like jogging or fast walking a day is a start.

Maybe it’s a little ambitious of me to presume that no matter how big the film is, that I can always go down to the shop to buy a pint of milk.

I’m very organized – and the best thing – when you love your work.

Messi is the best player of all time. Better than Pele, better than Maradona and better than anyone else.

The best thing a man can do on a first date is be a friend.

The devil gives the best first and the worst last, but the Lord saves the best for last.

They are a part of every decision I make. They motivate me to be the best me.

My number one beauty secret is to stay true to yourself and figure out what works best for your body.

What I want to be best at is being a dad.

I want to deal with what’s in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that’s not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.
