Rudeness can make me angry.

I come from a very working-class background.

I want to go anywhere and everywhere and explore as much as I can.

Belfast during the Troubles looked like a different world.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other - the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.

The financial implode is bound to be reflected in the movies that are being made, there's no question.

I want to be in movies that stand the test of time.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.

I would never give anybody any advice about anything.

Good dialogue is very important.

I'm the git in the family.

I watch a film and the most important thing to me is what I think of the movie.

Very often when you see families it's all perfect and neat, and parenting isn't like that. You do have constant negotiations. Things are ever developing and ever changing, and you constantly have to evaluate how you deal with your kids.

I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.

I think I am more attracted to characters with a subtext, whatever that is and they don't necessarily have to be virtuous, but they have to at least be human.

There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

I'm not better than anyone else.

I'm very vain about my performance. I want to give as honest a performance as I can. But I'm not so worried about being regarded as beautiful when I'm playing a character.

Oh, I'm full of fear. I care about things; therefore, I have fears. I like to think that I'm brave, which is different. Brave means you're able to admit that you care. If you care, you are vulnerable.
