You'd be hard-pressed to find an actor who isn't a sex symbol somewhere.

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being considered a sex symbol, especially after you work with someone like George Clooney.

I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.

Sex appeal is a good thing for commercial cinema. Though I can't sit at home and consider myself a sex symbol, it is for people to do so. I want to be known as an interesting actor.

I love being regarded as a sex symbol, but I can't take it too seriously.

I mean, I'm an actor. I do what comes along.

It's something that I think I'm going to have to fight against for most of my career, for people to take me seriously as an actor as opposed to a good-looking guy. It's not what I want to be known as.

It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.

You can be a sex symbol through music or film. Hey, there are some politicians that are sex symbols. Is that something you should fight? No. Sex is very natural.

I really respect actors much more now that I am one because I realise what hard work goes into being part of the industry.
