I wouldn't say being in a film with The Rock was 'motivating.' 'Terrifying' would be a more accurate description.

The gym is somewhere you can go to just forget for an hour what you do for a living, what you are doing on a daily basis. You just turn up and get on with it.

The first time I was flown to L.A. for a screen test was an incredibly nerve-racking experience.

I come from a country that lives and breathes rugby, and I didn't think there would be anywhere else in the world that could be the same. But New Zealand takes it to another dimension. It's extraordinary how much passion Kiwis have for the game.

In 10 years, I'd love to live near the sea, in a warmer climate. I could see myself with three dogs... and it'd be great to share them with someone else.

I've always said that theater was where I began, so everything I do now has a bit of my theater background in it. It was my training.

I have seen 'Fast Six,' and it's awesome.

It was never really part of my plan to be in films; it was really sort of a dream.

Vampires were always able to transform into creatures of the night. The dark creatures like bats have always been associated with vampires and using the darkness to their own advantage.

You have to give everything to every job you do.

My style is determined by the mood, the period and the circumstances which I'm going through in a given moment.

Wales is blessed with some truly magnificent castles, full of history and a must see for visitors.

I moved to Cardiff when I was 17 and never needed a car. When I came to L.A. for my first job there, I needed a car, so I had to pass my driving test.

From the big mountains in the north to the valleys in the south, all through my childhood and teenage years, my family would always holiday in Wales.

I guess once you've been acting for a long time, you glean the great bits of good directors and the bad bits from other directors, and you know the way that you would like to be directed.

I've played quite a few good guys.

I certainly didn't want to make another movie that's 'just another Dracula film.'

I don't see enough theatre.

If you ask an actor what he'd prefer to act on, he'd probably say a tangible, real set, or even better, a real location out on a mountainside or by a river. It's just easier because you don't have to imagine anything.

Good suits don't come from anywhere, though - I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.

A guy's biggest style mistake is definitely trying to look too cool. As long as you've got a good pair of jeans, a good pair of boots and a few good shirts, you're fine.

And I love to cook! I've impressed hundreds of women with my cooking. And they always come back for more.

To me, growing up in South Wales, a pair of Diesel jeans were the thing to have - if you could afford them.

I love to sit down on a beanbag at the end of the day and watch my fish. It's therapeutic, isn't it? They're alive, and I'm keeping them alive. I like the responsibility.
