My mom and dad just loved the fact that I fooled around. They just embraced it. They'd always kind of enjoy it, and they liked it when I made them laugh.

I'd love to play a gangster but I think people might say I looked a bit too young and cheeky to play a character who'd just blown someones head off!

I have been heartbroken once and it has affected all my relationships from there on. But now I look at it as a occupational hazard. If you are in the meat market at some point you are gonna get mad cows disease.

I'm in this position where I can afford to wait, I'm lucky enough to be financially secure to not have to do anything that's thrown at me. You know the next couple of jobs are going to be pretty crucial in terms of how you're perceived by people. So I'm just waiting.

I think a lot of young kids at school are very conscious of trying to keep credibility in case they kind of stand out in a crowd and get bullied by trying to stay cool and stuff. And my whole thing, all the way through school, was I was just a goof... I didn't care.

I guess we're living in a pretty sensitive world and there's nothing you can do about that.

I think if you're an actor, then you can work on stage - but if you've never done it before, you're going to have picked up a few things that you're going to need to change when you're working on stage.

I could always flip between emotions and be available to suddenly do something new. I think it's a part of playing, and you hang onto it when you're a kid.

I was never a big guy in pubs. I was never the main kind of aggressor or anything like that, but I found myself in trouble because I always had a mouth that would come back with something, and there was just never anyone who could make me be quiet.

If I could uninvent anything, I would uninvent Hitler's mum, guns and broccoli.

I used to get quite upset that I'd make friends with a guy or a girl and then within the space of three years we'd move and go and live somewhere else, and you'd have to say goodbye to that person.

I've always traveled, as a kid my parents moved me around, a different place in Germany every four years. But I got the travel bug when I was a kid, living in different countries.

I was the class clown so I was used to performing and fooling around in front of my friends.

Bureaucratic nonsense at airports drives me crazy.

Here's an interesting thing about L.A. - it's overrun with black widow spiders. I could find you one on the street in 10 minutes.

Holidays are all different depending on the company and time of your life.

I don't need to have three feather pillows in my trailer. I just don't work that way.

I don't say anything unintentionally.

I don't tend to go out that much.

I enjoy the preparatory elements of travel - packing my bags and choosing my outfits - but my favourite part is getting there.

I grew up a massive Beatles fan.

I hope to be an actor and never retire.

I like films that deal with some of those questions that you can never answer: 'Why are we here? What's it about? What happens to us with the choices that we make? What are the ramifications for doing something right, or doing something wrong?' Those universal questions, I enjoy.

I like islands.

I like learning new stuff, and continuing to educate myself as best I can.

I like relationships and being in love, but I also like being single - you have to embrace all those different things.

I love going to work. I love being on-set everyday. It feeds me; it's exciting.

I never thought I could learn much from a dog or cat. They sleep when we sleep. They eat when we eat. I'm into observing animals being as wild as they can be in a captive environment.

I think if you've held onto a character for several years and then you're getting rid of that character, it's going to be traumatic.

I think we are all interested in end-times ideas and also in the current climate that we are all living in, where money is a little harder to come by, things continue to get expensive; gas prices are not too far from people's heads. There are more and more people. Human society's going to have real problems.

I'm a big fan of the misunderstood, the vilified, the underdog, the breaking of myths.

I'm a movie nut. I go to the movies probably twice a week, and if I'm not doing anything at night, I'm usually watching a movie or two.

I'm constantly exposing myself to art and that inspires me.

I've had a fair amount of experience with snakes, and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They'll tell you when they're grumpy. They'll tell you when they're okay.

I've worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you're in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room. You're taken care of and the food is amazing, the quality of the job is amazing and then you work on smaller things but it never dictates my happiness or my willingness to go to work.

If I had a choice as to my perfect career, I would make a couple of films a year and then concentrate on natural history.

If you look at little kids and wild animals, these are two groups of things that whenever I'm with them forces me to be in the moment.

If you woke up, every day, and someone punched you in the face, for the first week, you'd go, 'Why is someone punching me in the face?' But, by the time you got through week two, you'd take it and just go on with the day.

My brain kind of rolls pretty fast when I'm conscious. It's constantly looking for stuff to do. Like if I'm in my house and I'm hanging out, I tend to be listening to music whilst watching a film whilst sending e-mails.

My brother's a teacher in Costa Rica and actually does a more important and significant job than I will ever do.

My favorite movie of all time is probably 'Apocalypse Now.'

My parents are pretty cool people.

Not being busy is something I worry about, but I think work begets work.

Obviously the idea of being human is a very human idea.

People have a fear of the unknown. Insects have different senses than us, different amount of limbs and their body structure is very different. It's hard for us to really relate to them and understand them.

Television is face acting, and film is eye acting.

The term 'geek' for me is like you having a passion, interest in something that is unabashed and you don't care if people think it's not cool. You think it's cool and that's your thing.

We're electrical items and when we die the electricity goes somewhere else. When we die our energy goes into the galaxy.
