“We’re all waiting for the opportunity to do big films but you have to wait your turn – unless you get offered something like Twilight when you’re 20! Otherwise, you just have to keep slogging away.”

If somebody knew every time they did something it was going to be a hit there would never be any failures.

The genre has got quite serious now.

Sadly, that’s not how it works. You take nothing for granted.

Sometimes our motivations can be quite hazy, contradictory and multi-faceted, in real life.

If someone offers you a three picture deal at 20 you’d take it. I would have killed for it.

Long gone are the days of the stylised old James Bond films with Roger Moore karate chopping his way through the bad guys – audiences are not going to buy it anymore.

I’m kind of glad that I was able to properly grow up before becoming a massive movie star.
