I was a skinny guy growing up, and I still feel like that same skinny kid.

I didn't do particularly well with girls at school. I was very shy. I'm not saying that was the only reason I didn't do well with them, but I just didn't.

I love fatherhood.

It's a strange environment, being hounded. The paparazzi are cretins.

I could eat 10 packs of Hula Hoops a day and not think about it.

If you are a skinny, baby-faced teenager, the last thing you want to hear is that you're cute.

I like playing characters who are fractured, broken. I find that more relatable, for some reason. I don't feel that I'm like that myself by nature, but there's just something that you can really grab hold of if people have a darkness in them, I think.

I read a lot about serial killers.

Although just being employed as an actor is a big thing, I'm not sure I'd be satisfied playing the same character for 30 years; it's not why I want to do this for a living.

I'm a fairly worldly guy.

I've never read anything set in Belfast that doesn't involve the Troubles or something senseless over a flag.

Modelling doesn't hold you back in L.A. at all.

I think my lesson is to back yourself once you've been given a job. Far too often, I've been given a job and then doubted why I'm there.
