They all matter to me, whether I'm working on a Sam Jackson film for a week or I'm the star of my own TV series - I take it all very seriously, and I have a healthy respect for the work in general, despite the role.

I'm an actor more than anything else.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff.

As an actor, you try and be cool, but one of the reasons you become an actor is because you're a film fan. And then you're like, 'Oh my God, Ridley Scott just spoke to me!'

I'm an actor's director.

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

I enjoy being an actor in my own movies.

My biggest influences as an actor were Marlon Brando, and I really dug James Dean.

The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.
