Actor

I've always said that theater was where I began, so everything I do now has a bit of my theater background in it. It was my training.

It's good for people to look at me and think, 'This guy is doing his thing and enjoying what he's doing and successful at it and living his life.' And that's what I'm doing, and I'm very happy.

Good suits don't come from anywhere, though - I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.

You have to have a lot of money to go to college. It's not cheap.

Directing is something I've sort of always felt like I'd like to do at one point, and I thought the best way to start it is to write something myself or with someone and I'd go from there. My own material.

There are certain tuxes you can get away with a black tie, but with others, you'd be dishonoring the workmanship if you didn't wear a full bow tie.

The gym is somewhere you can go to just forget for an hour what you do for a living, what you are doing on a daily basis. You just turn up and get on with it.

I don't think you should spend that much time in the gym. Don't sit around between sets too long. If you want to burn some calories, keep the sets tight. Give yourself 30 seconds to a minute between each set. Supersetting is brilliant.

The Sixties was all about style and a certain look. But what was interesting about 1963 was that it was pre-Beatles, so the clothes of that time, especially the suits, were very different from the clothes post-Beatlemania.

My trainer is with me all day. We train before I come to work, and then I just keep training all day.

A longbow takes a massive draw for the arrow to go anywhere.

My style is determined by the mood, the period and the circumstances which I'm going through in a given moment.

I have seen 'Fast Six,' and it's awesome.

I think every role you take on, you should take on the responsibility of doing the best representation of that person or that character or that role. When it is a human being that has actually existed, and it is a person that people know of, yeah, you feel an even more amount of pressure to do a good job.

For my part, if the audience wanted to see Dracula again, I would be happy to reprise the role. It is an immortal character that can appear anywhere because it lies beyond time. Possibilities are endless.

It was never really part of my plan to be in films; it was really sort of a dream.

When I left school, I got a job in a shoe shop and I used to save 15 quid a week and pay for my own singing and acting lessons.

If you ask an actor what he'd prefer to act on, he'd probably say a tangible, real set, or even better, a real location out on a mountainside or by a river. It's just easier because you don't have to imagine anything.

There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.

You can read 50 great things about yourself, but the one bad thing will be what you remember most.
