“Online dating is cool but I think Myspace and Facebook is a little bit off key.”

I had a huge imagination. My granddad says I was a bit of a Walter Mitty character.

I guess if I had fifty million dollars I could spend more time at home.

I like to be other people, not me. And when you’re on the red carpet, it’s like, ‘Here’s Tom Hardy.’ I don’t want to be me. That’s why I play other people.

I’m just getting settled as a responsible man – but if you split the elephant into little mouthfuls it will be fine.

I set myself that decision, otherwise I’m driving an opinion at you, and I think that would be treating you like you’re an idiot. I don’t want to force-feed you my opinion.

I’m into parlor dramas. I’m into theatre. I’m trained for the stage. I trained to do Chekhov and Shakespeare, I was trained for the stage.

If I am duly compared to Marlon Brando at all, well, I can only think of The Teahouse of the ‘Shanghai Noon,’ that they’re comparing me to that!

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

Whatever character you play, remember they are always doing something they are not just talking.

I have a very busy head. I have inside voices that I have learned to contain.

You don’t step on stage to eat; you go there to be eaten.

The Long Red Road is a story about alcoholism and dysfunction and tragic tale of a man who’s trying to drink himself to death on an Indian reservation in Dakota. It was written for me, so it’s something I would love to do.

I liked you better when you were drunk .

I’m going to fail to hit the mark I’ve put up before me because it’s not possible to hit it. I want to be the best at what I do so I’ve got to get over myself already because that’s never going to happen. I ain’t ever going to be God.

I’m an armchair psychologist, I suppose, and I like to kind of sit around and guess and pretend I know what’s going on.

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

I call you to say we have no other choice but to date for a year go our separate ways and cheat on whoever we marry forever.

When i was 12 all of my friends had girlfriends and i didn’t, i felt lonely so i asked my mom to date me.

I’ve not actually been on too many dates.

I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.

I’m not very experienced with boys or the whole dating thingy.

Everyone agrees the celibacy rule is just a Church law dating from the 11th century, not a divine command.

A good amount of the guys wanted to date me. Even older guys looking at me. It took some getting used to.

Employees make the best dates. You don’t have to pick them up and they’re always tax-deductible.
