“Scent has become a way for me to differentiate characters.”

No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.

Everyone’s like, ‘overnight sensation.’ It’s not overnight. It’s years of hard work.

I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can’t have emails go through. It’s undisturbed.

I became an actor so I can show you characters and never have to show you me.

I try to remind myself that all of this could be over tomorrow, because I could wake up and magically be 35 feet tall and not be able to act in movies anymore.

I was in a movie for five minutes where I play tennis and I was given five tennis lessons for free. I never had a tennis lesson. I was like, that’s awesome! When else would I have taken up tennis?

Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy.

I was always very dramatic – my family would probably use the word ‘dramatic’ – as a child; always putting on performances, making everyone come watch, and pay to watch. I was very business-savvy as a child.

I don’t even know how to Direct Message someone on Instagram. I still write letters.

Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

I think they’ve finally realized that women go to see movies as much as men do. Ticket sales are coming from them as well, so why not appeal to them? I think they’re finding a way.

I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I’m staying at a friend’s house or something. I’m very old school.

It does feel bizarre, having someone in your work space who’s so much younger than you.

I always dress kind of monochromatic and very simple and all that kind of stuff.

I make my friends pull up their profiles and I’m like, “Show me everything.”

I feel much more comfortable either up in a tree, or underwater. That’s where I feel the most zen.

I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.

If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

People do not seem to realise that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

What comes out of your mouth is determined by what goes into your mind.

Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.

If in the darkness of ignorance, you don’t recognize a person’s true nature, look to see whom he has chosen for his leader.

The sisters and brothers that you meet give you the materials which your character uses to build itself.

Through your rags I see your vanity.
