“I always feel like I’m the one with everything to prove.”

I would be extremely stupid if I said that my looks had absolutely nothing to do with what I do, it [moviemaking] is a visual medium. I’m perfectly aware of that, the face and the body help. Of course they do.

I see the world through my eyes. It’s sometimes a strange world.

I’ve always gravitated towards people who are extreme. Whether its drugs, or kicking down doors. Normally, the people in my life had to escape to get back.

I think it doesn’t matter where you’re from, we all need a bit of romance.

I don’t quite understand what Tolstoy’s actual personal view of Anna is – whether he likes her or hates her, whether she’s the heroine or the antiheroine.

The most important thing in playing any character is not judging.

Be happy in your body. It’s the only one you’ve got, so you might as well like it.

The whole point for me is to change as much as possible. If I’ve done one movie, I’ve done that, move on.

I wish I was Sienna Miller. When I talk to her, I hope a bit of her party personality will rub off on me, but it never does.

I think everybody has the right to a private life.

I like watching films when I don’t know anything about the people.

In film as a medium, you’re often given a baddie and a goodie and told what to think about them; it’s usually a very definite point of view.

I see a pair of shoes I adore, and it doesn’t matter if they have them in my size. I buy them anyway.

I am a slow reader. I always loved words, which is a strange thing given that I couldn’t actually read them.

I wasn’t allowed to do commercials. I wasn’t allowed to do TV series. I wasn’t allowed to do soaps or basically anything that would mean I missed too much school.

Half of my mum’s family is Welsh. I remember when I was a kid she used to read to me, and witches and wizards in books always had a Welsh accent, so I guess I took it from that really.

If God can be fully proved by the human mind, then He is no greater than the mind that proves Him.

A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

Faith’s most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.

Sin forsaken is one of the best evidences of sin forgiven.

If we have no mercy toward others, that is one proof that we have never experienced God’s mercy.

It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but actually to be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name.

In martial arts, the biggest enemy is self. Inside you struggle because you want to prove something.

No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate, they know that this is the place that we were born and raised.
