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

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

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

I love fatherhood.

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

There are so many ways to make a living that don't involve hiding in bushes opposite houses of 18-year-old girls with a camera in your hand.

Love from the fans is flattering. That's what makes the show. They are so essential to everything involved with 'Once Upon a Time.'

I very much feel like I'm part of the makeup of 'Once Upon a Time.'

Being a leading man can come in many different forms.

I've never felt massively satisfied from standing there while someone takes my photograph. It's never given me a thrill.

I think when romantic comedies are done well, it's a great genre. 'When Harry Met Sally' is kind of a benchmark for me, but I'm very happy to admit that I love 'Pretty Woman.' I do! It's a great film, and so is 'Sixteen Candles.' I was a big John Hughes fan - still am. I have moments where I have to watch a Hughes film.

They do very classy, sexy television in the U.S. - and they pay a lot more, so there's always that draw!

It's funny when you know you're playing two characters and you're aware of how you have to play each one into your performance of the other. You're constantly at the back of your mind thinking and it all gets a bit confusing.

Fairytales are stories that span every generation and they've been around for a long time.

I can't really do the running on hard ground that I used to do. Instead I go swimming as often as possible.

I've always needed to bulk up, so until the modeling took off I was ramming Big Macs down my throat and doing plenty of bodyweight work. I'm over the Big Macs now, but I'll still drop down and do my press ups whenever I find the time.

When I was younger, I thought maybe one day I'd be involved in sport in terms of career.

I defy anyone to watch interviews with Ted Bundy and not be taken by him. He was very handsome and charming and extremely intelligent and, you know, that can exist.

I guess I'm just lucky with my genes.

I'd been auditioning for parts for years. I never got any better at it. I'm crap at auditions. I know there are people who can walk into those rooms and make those lines sing on the page and get the job immediately. I wasn't one of them. I'm still not one of them.

I'm amazed if people are happy in their own skin.

My dad was a keen actor when he was young; my auntie is heavily involved in amateur dramatics back in Northern Ireland, and my great aunt was a woman called Greer Garson.

Everyone likes a bit of competition.
