- Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you act, you've got to be like a poet or a musician. It's not about evidence before court. It's not a forensic subject. It's poetry; it's a completely different place.

- Nov 07, 2020
I never think career.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you had to find a period in history that would equate to what the Internet has presented us with now, it would be Elizabethan England. It was a world in flux.

We're in an age of enlightenment, and we have a choice as a society which path to take.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Acting is a tough, difficult job with long unsociable hours, although it can be a brilliant job, too. I don't want to complain too much, as nurses, farmers and teachers are out working long hours.

It's every boy's dream to play Captain Hook.

- |

- Power

- Nov 07, 2020
Every time the Tories get a bit of power, they rip off all the things I love... The mining industry. Milk.

- Nov 07, 2020
Edward Curtis was a photographer in the late 19th century who tried to document the rapidly disappearing Native Americans. He assembled a canon of work which, today, is exemplary and invaluable.
- Giving
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm becoming more indulgent and less giving as an actor as I get older. I'm immersing myself more in roles emotionally.
- Home

I come from a culture where the pub is the centre of the community. The pub is the Internet. It's where information is gathered, collated and addressed.

A pub can be a magical place.

- Nov 07, 2020

- Crowd
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Club DJs don't talk to the crowd.
- Filming
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I'm not filming, I do rock n' roll; when I'm not doing rock n' roll, I do filming.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In terms of partying and reckless abandon, I'm Don Juan. But, in terms of my heart, I'm the most loyal man you'll ever meet.
- Heart
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Acting is not an intellectual process for me. It comes from my heart. It's this strange netherworld of osmosis where I simply become.

I am essentially very shy. Which, I guess, is why I'm very good at not being shy.
- Great

- More
- |

More than any other super-hero, 'Spider-Man' presents us with something very local in its ethics. It's not messianic. It's far more tangible.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I consider projects very deeply, but there's always a point in your life where there's a bit of randomity.
- Legends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm Welsh. We didn't do 'Peter Pan.' We have far more ancient legends to be put to sleep with.
- Green
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't have a problem with green screen at all. I think children invented CGI. We invent worlds. A stick can become a sword. Or a bowl of stones can become a bowl of tomatoes. That's what children do, and that's what CGI enables us to do.
- Education
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I honed my passion for acting in theatre and education, and I think it's important not to belittle the child audience.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The majority of comic book villains are pure evil, but Curt Connors is an exception. Curt Connors is a good man who initially wants to save the world, but he gets hungry and greedy and reckless, and he pays the price for that.
- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'll move back to Wales if and when I have children. I want them to speak the language I speak, but I love living in London. It's my favourite city in the whole world. I love it because it's not England, it's London.
- Want
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Welsh women aren't the most tactile unless they're your relatives. And then you don't want them to be.

Shyness is invariably a suppression of something. It's almost a fear of what you're capable of.
- Cinema
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There aren't many odysseys in cinema for characters.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All punk rockers hate Christmas.
- Insurance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
On a conventional film, you do one take, and if it's good, they say, 'Let's do another one for insurance.'
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I play really bad punk rock guitar.
- Humility
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Film and stage are very different; I don't necessarily prefer one over the other. Every few years, I get a big itch to go back to the theater. To learn humility, to learn bravery and to remind yourself that the pistons that drive your craft are working on full power. And to remind yourself how badly paid actors can be.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Villains are fun. I think the important thing in playing them is that they don't see themselves as villains. It lets you be a little more expansive.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After you have been incarcerated for so long, whatever story is told in the aftermath is beautiful.
- Disbelief
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The whole film genre is one of deceit. It is the suspension of disbelief. That's what all theater and all film is based on.
- Imagination
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As an actor, our very palette is one of imagination. So it is a walk onto an empty space and then imagine the world beyond it is what we do.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is no such thing as a criminal life. Life is life, and life is criminalized. No one ever, in the history of life, has chosen a criminal life. No one has ever said, 'I want to be a criminal.' No one ever has done that.
- Diligently
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The strange thing is, if I was speaking to drama students about the thing that you should do if you're lucky enough to know or to meet the character that you're playing, I'd say, 'It's obvious: you quiz them diligently about their experience.'
- Film
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Film can become stagnant as a medium.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that Liverpool's particular modern history lends itself to the cinema better than London in many ways. When you go to Liverpool, you absorb that whole sound and humour.
- Exactly The Same
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I work hard and I party hard. When I go to work, I know what I am doing and I do it to the best of my abilities. When I party, I take exactly the same rule book with me.
- Now
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I'd been a rock star, I'd probably now be dead.
- Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I freely admit that I am a bit of a misfit.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is joyous for any actor to enter other grounds of consciousness and thought. At the end of the day, we just all like dressing up and playing around.
- Artist
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am an artisan. I only became an artist when people watch what I do. That is when it becomes art.
- Need
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Well, I need to be frightened on a regular basis.

If it is not scary, it is not worth doing.
- Ever
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've had the longest mid-life crisis ever.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's like a badge of honour if you're a British actor and you get the 'Harry Potter' call. It meant a lot to me.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never thought I would be in a film.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a sense, I feel a lot more an outsider in Los Angeles than I did in Newfoundland.
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've worked with Hollywood stars, but the reason most of the Hollywood stars I've worked with are Hollywood stars is that they're excellent actors, so I've been very lucky.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've done a lot of Shakespeare onstage, and I'm not convinced that the Earl of Oxford was the author of all those works, but I am convinced that the Stratfordian William Shakespeare was not. My feeling is that it was an amalgamation of many writers, in the same way that most films are a collaborative endeavor.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I went to the Guilford School of Music and Drama, which was affiliated with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I was lucky enough to be taught by a beautiful, wonderful teacher called Patsy Rodenberg, who works a lot with the Royal Shakespeare Company as a voice coach and technician.
- No Sense
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was taught Shakespeare in school, it was such an alien, sanitized puzzle, it made no sense.
