“It’s very easy for a couple to experience joy together. But when you experience pain together, it can lead to such depth and such union. That is when you fuse.”

I think when you’re in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it’s better than when you do yourself.

You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur. And I’m not a voyeur.

I’m a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me.

I auditioned for the role of an angel in the Nativity play at school. I didn’t get it. I auditioned for Mary; didn’t get it. So I made up the character of the sheep who sat next to Baby Jesus.

I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I’ve always felt is a sign of respect for others.

I don’t really make decisions, I go with the flow.

You can ask me pretty much anything. There’ll be things I’ll go, ‘That feels a little too personal.’ But most things I don’t have a fear of being asked about.

The things that go on in my head are far more interesting than what actually happens.

I don’t really celebrate fame because I get enough attention.

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

It’s so bizarre, I’m not scared of snakes or spiders. But I’m scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!

I’m interested in going places that I haven’t been. And I’m interesting in working with people that I feel are dangerous and sort of push me in different places.

To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That’s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised – they don’t see you behind closed doors.

I dig my heels in every now and then, and think ‘I’m not going to do what’s expected or what people think is the right thing.’ So I have a little bit of that in my personality.

I have a passion for my work, and that can seep into you. It’s almost as if you’re drawn to it.

I don’t believe in having body doubles for a film.

Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.

Holding her hand in public is just another way of saying you’re proud to have her.

Can’t come down from the high you give me.

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

Make me remember you like you remember me.

I didn’t need you, you idiot. I picked you. And then you picked me back.

If I could but know his heart, everything would become easy.

I dreamed of you. I dreamed you were wandering in the dark, and so was I. We found each other. We found each other in the dark.
