"I find I get no pleasure
at all and there's nothing added to my life by finding out
about actor's personal lives. It ruins it for me. I don't
understand why people want to know so much about it because
it ruins watching movies,"

Cinema
Confidential - 2002
"I had
reservations about making a movie like this. Initially I was
very surprised they were interested in me for it because I
didn’t expect that. It was an attraction for me because I
hope that I can always do something that isn’t
predictable. There’s a great deal of risk in making a
movie of this scale."

"When Rob first sent me the script, I read it and I
thought, man, this could really be something great.
And it could also be something really bloody awful.
There has to be that concern."

"I go from bad guy to good guy in five days, I'm
feeling everything for the first time. It's been quite
confusing, really, and the character is quite confusing
himself for half of it."

"I did 'Empire of the Sun' when I was thirteen, and we
did this huge international publicity push for it, and I
really hated it. That has very much affected my ideas of
exposure."

"When you do a lot of interviews, you find yourself
telling the same stories over and over. After you do it for
a whole day, you say, 'Christ, I've said this five times
today.' It gets fun when you get so bored you start making
it all up."

The
Independent - 1998
"There were times as a family when we
ended up in very small places and there would be that fear
of where the hell are you going to next, and what's going to
happen? I suppose the difference was that it was never
boredom. It was never a fear of nothing's going to
happen."

"'I don't
know what's going to happen at the moment. Nobody's made a
definite decision. Somebody told me it was career suicide,
but I know it's one of the best parts I've ever been
offered.'"

"A lot of people who grew up in that era have said,
'You were me. That was exactly what we went through.' Which
is lovely to hear..."

"I look back on it rather fondly now. It
was either go to college or go to California and do 'Newsies'.
I decided to the film. Which was an education."

"I have a fear of being boring," the
actor says. "The more high-profile I get, the less I
can surprise people anymore. I've managed it very well.
Nobody has a clue who I am, so it worked."

"I go from this innocent, very likable
boy who can't quite deal with it when Jo rejects him. He
then becomes this debauched character who does a lot of
drinking and smoking. It was quite nice."

"We had a kung-fu master," he
recalls with a laugh. "Thirty of us would be in a room
doing something like t’ai ching to this humming music.
It’s very relaxing, but when you see yourself in the
mirror, it’s really funny."
