| 1 | I don't even like being on the phone. I like talking to people. I like engaging with people and being able to look in their eyes. |
| 2 | I'm terribly hard on myself. I don't do anything that I don't believe in. |
| 3 | You spend your life collecting; people, gestures, mannerisms, a look in the eye, the way somebody laughs. They're the kind of threads that you can use in the weirdest of places. And then you'll suddenly think; I'm doing that, from a guy that I saw on a tram in 1997. |
| 4 | I have to say. I kind of love all that stuff - those physical challenges. I guess there will come a time when I'll get sick of it but at this stage, I just like it all. |
| 5 | I'm really keen to go back and do some theatre, but I can't afford to at the moment because we're getting married in September. And then I'm hoping to direct a film at the end of this year, and that means a year of your life without pay. |
| 6 | This is an area you always need to address when you're dealing with Dracula is the fact that there is something kind of attractive in his darkness - which there isn't in other horror characters. |
| 7 | My most difficult thing so far, to be brutally honest, has been to waltz as if I knew what I was doing. |
| 8 | You have to sort of see the way that the character behaves, and what the character says and does, and claim it in the same way that you claim anything, really. |
| 9 | You know honestly I think there's a Dracula, a Wolf Man, and a Frankenstein's Monster in all of us. They are sides of our own character so that's why I think we can relate to them in terms of a 'I know how that feels' kind of thing. |
| 10 | Dancing with Kate Beckinsale made me very excited. |
| 11 | I don't really have preferred roles except those with some complexity. |
