I've probably written about three albums that no one will ever hear.

British actors come at acting from a slightly different angle. Because a lot of the films are cast out there, they are so used to the angle from which the Americans, and certainly the young guys from L.A., are coming at it, that I think it's interesting for them to find these English actors who maybe approach acting from a different place.

I never met Paul McCartney.

I really dont like the idea of people knowing what I am doing. I find telling everybody what you had for breakfast is really uninspiring.

I'm not an outdoors person by instinct or nature. I'm more of a city person.

I moved to Manchester to join a band and ended up getting into acting, and I moved back to London to become an actor and ended up joining a band.

When you're acting, everything is there around you, you just have to believe that it's real. When you're standing there with a slightly grey wig on and you have a baby in your arms screaming in your ear, you can go: "Well, I guess this is what it's like!"

It's always interesting to me to tell stories that come from difficult political climates.

You could pick another two people and you'd have a whole other story and that's why films about love get made and made and made - because there's a million ways to tell it and no two stories are the same.
