"I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult."

"There's nothing ever monetarily or fame-seeking or any of the other motivations that sometimes go hand-in-hand with this profession. To me, it's just not like that. I'm on a journey of self-discovery and trying to avoid total existential crisis. That's the kind of operating zone that I'm approaching this business from."

"When I was a kid, probably 16 or 17, I got spotted by a model scout that wanted to represent me, and they sent me one modeling job, for Wall's ice cream. I did one job for them, and then a catwalk shoot for Kangol caps, and decided modeling was not for me."

"A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage."

"I tend to go to bed really early on New Year's Eve. Then I wake up early, drive up while it's still dark, and hike out somewhere beautiful to watch the sunrise. I just take a couple hours and have a post-mortem of the year."

"I go into the gym and do 75 pullups, 75 dips, 150 squats, 150 pushups, and then 20 minutes of ab work. Done. It takes an hour; I'm in and out. I sweat the whole time."

"I don't tend to watch TV. I'm like a Netflix junkie. I watch a lot of documentaries and movies on Netflix. I like 'Downton Abbey.'"

"I'm starting to get old. I want to eat some hamburgers and just relax."

"I work 15 hours a day and still go to the gym. Most people work eight hours a day and say, 'I haven't got time to work out.'"

"It's generally more fun playing the villain."

"I bought a house, and I've been decorating it."

"Everybody, at some point in their life, has fallen down and not felt like getting back up, but you have to, no matter how difficult it is."

"I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon."

"I love hip hop music, I make hip hop music."

"No, I do a bunch of things to entertain myself. I paint, I make music, I take photographs."

"In a work capacity I'm only interested in acting and producing."

"I'm happy being an actor, it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just lucky I got to do it so early."

"Good roles are hard to come by, and whether they're a few lines or a lead, you snap 'em up when they come along."

"It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide."

"I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year."

"The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there."

"And I just want to work with good directors and good people."

"I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage."

"I watch these actors who when you go to buy a pint of milk you see them smiling on the cover of 20 magazines. Then when you see them in a film it's hard to believe the character because you just see them everywhere."
