"New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the way they handle themselves. All these cliches that, as an Englishman, I thought were from a bygone era or were a bit of poetic license with cop shows - the more you hang out with them, the more you realize how real that jargon is."
"I don't think I believe in ghosts, per se. But, my nearest experience was when I went on a weekend away and was in a bar in England, years ago, with an ex-girlfriend. I heard this scratching. I was about to go to bed and I was thinking, 'It's an old ghost.' I could hear this noise, but I couldn't work out where it was coming from."
"What I like about the 'Underworld' thing is that it's a mix of cool genres, as well as creating its own message."
"I saw 'Captain America' in 3D. It's cool. I liked the beginning. It's a really good setup."
"I was in the school plays, I did a lot of music. I carried on through university for short films and loads of plays."
"I've got two brothers and two sisters, so there's five of us and we're all very close, which is cool."
"I think you can tell when a New York show isn't shot in the city. It's so iconic and has such a specific energy."
"To me, the difference between New York and London is that things are boring and staid in London."
"I know there's Brooklyn and all the boroughs, but Manhattan specifically is so condensed that the energy is very vibrant. Everywhere you look there is something happening."
"People say that New Yorkers aren't friendly, but I think they're more friendly than Londoners. Here there is a front-footed nature of Americans. You can go out on a night out and meet 10 random people and stay in touch with them, whereas that's not going to happen in the same way in London."
"What is interesting, as well, is how much power homicide detectives have and how much respect. They are kind of rock stars, especially in New York. There are not that many of them."
"In Britain, you do your job. When you do an American TV show, there is a sense of being one with the crew, and there is a leadership element, which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain, you just do it, leave and say, 'Thanks.'"
"I have the same friends I've had for years and the same family. Unless you love rock n' roll and Hollywood parties and having your photo taken, I don't think necessarily things need to change too much."
"I'd love to do something where I played a musician."
"I had a pretty steep learning curve in film - as I'm still learning."
"You question, as anybody should, the overarching worth of your profession, right? So that's a question I've often asked myself."
"I was thinking recently, I've always loved the ocean. If I could do it all again, I might do an oceanography degree. You can do ocean archaeology, and I thought that might be fascinating to do - man-made structures, where the sea has risen above the structures."
"I always think that you finish one movie, you start a new one, and you think, 'OK. I did that last one. Now I've learned. I know how this works.' Then by the end of the movie, you think, 'No, I don't, really.'"
"'Divergent' is a story about people who don't fit into a category - that is a big part of the message - but it's also about conformity and forcing people into these simple archetypes. At the end of the day, humans don't exist like that. We're multifaceted."
"We're in a world where masculinity, especially with these big spectacle movies, is often pushed by rippling six packs and forcing an image down someone's throat trying to prove masculinity. Whereas I think true masculinity comes from having a strong sense of self."
"It's frustrating we still don't see more movies featuring strong women."
"One of my fears would be getting torn apart by a great white shark. I love the ocean, but I always have this deep fear of getting torn apart by a great whitey."
"I'm a bit of a dude. I like meat. But I am buying it more responsibly, where it's more sourced responsibly."
"I just like being present."
"Read more. Read every time you go to bed; read in the day - because at least, reading a book, you can't be distracted by anything else."
