Actor

If you're gonna start a story, you start from the beginning, right?

You have to give everything to every job you do.

Wales is blessed with some truly magnificent castles, full of history and a must see for visitors.

When you get to work with people like Ian McKellen or directors like Peter Jackson, you sit and watch.

Singing seems to be inherent in Filipino, just as it is in my race. That's why I have this affinity with Filipinos.

I'm basically turning my apartment into an armory.

One funny thing is, though, I wear my watch on my right hand and I'm actually right-handed. People always wonder why - I don't know myself, I've just always done it that way and I like it the way a good watch fits on my right wrist.

I understand, certain scenes have to have a lot of takes. As an actor, I think it's quite nice to have a handful of takes, because you don't want to do it once or twice; I think once or twice sometimes is quite terrifying because you don't really feel like you've given them what you want.

I'm not a 'Twilight' boy; I'll never be as good looking as those lads, and that's fair enough.

It is a very beautiful story, 'The Crow.' It is a very tragic story with huge emotional themes.

In all honesty, I should have given up this acting lark years ago.

The truth of the matter is roles like James Bond are the ones that I look up to as probably the best roles ever to play. So that's probably my ultimate goal one day: to play James Bond.

There are certain films you want to see on the big screen.

Before the 'Fast & Furious' promo in Manila, I went on a vacation in the Philippines 10 years earlier. I loved it. My 'Miss Saigon' friends showed me around.

I felt alive when I read a script and acted out a scene, or sang a song. It was my dream. I'm just very lucky that I'm still doing it and able to earn a living from it.

I come from the countryside. I come from a bunch of horticulture family members. My best friend was a farmer's boy.

It's a lovely thing to be able to sing.

I'd like to make a film musical. That's really my dream.

I really loved 'Fast Five.' I thought it was a brilliant movie. I thought it was so well done, well directed. The action sequences were really well thought out. It looked fantastic.

If I have to look a certain way for something, I know how long it's going to take me do it.
