“The lack of carbohydrates can make you a little crazy.”

Being an only child, I didn’t have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.

I’m not a big guy anyway. I’m only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for ‘Batman,’ 179 for ‘Warrior.’ Films make you look big.

We’re all flawed human beings and we all have a cauldron of psychosis which we have to unravel as we grow older and find the way we fit in to live our lives as best as possible.

I hate publicists and publicity. But I love the people.

I have to make my bones with Hollywood to get in. And when I do maybe I’ll metamorphose from Mr. Muscles or whatever it is I am now and become an irascible tosser.

I think online dating is a way of procuring people. Like Facebook and Myspace, it’s the way that people connect now and procure small children and sometimes dodgy relationships. I don’t think it’s very healthy.

I love dogs. Like, A LOT. They’re my favorite animal. Ever.

If you look round Hollywood there’s no end of white smiles and six packs. Long lines of beautiful people lining up to be incredible on film.

Ju jitsu is very Buddhist. All that we fear we hold close to ourselves to survive. So if you’re drowning and you see a corpse floating by, hang on to it because it will rescue you.

It’s much less daunting once you’ve put your foot on the road to it. I’m a notorious couch potato and I don’t like exercise. Half an hour of physical exercise, like jogging or fast walking a day is a start.

Maybe it’s a little ambitious of me to presume that no matter how big the film is, that I can always go down to the shop to buy a pint of milk.

There’s always a certain pride in getting the job done properly.

My job is to show and tell. If I get better at showing and telling then presumably I get hired more.

David Mamet we all know is a great screenplay writer and playwright and a great director. If you like him, you like him. If you hate him, you really hate him. He’s someone who’s into controversy, you know what I mean? That’s David Mamet.

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

I had no immediate knowledge of the world of Batman at all. I’m quite incubated. I just keep myself to myself and my dog.

I don’t want to be viewed as a womaniser or whatever. I don’t like going crazy crazy, I like having fun but it’s nice to wake up in your own bed, isn’t it?

A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.

I’m crazy, I’m nuts. Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently.

People think you’re crazy if you talk about things they don’t understand.

If you’re not doing some things that are crazy, then you’re doing the wrong things.

Crazy how you gotta wait until it’s dark out to see who really with you.

If we don’t have each other, we go crazy with loneliness. When we do, we go crazy with togetherness.
