"A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility. There have been a great many men and women who have in fact used work or hustle or selfish ambition as an escape from real responsibility, an escape from purpose.

"I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it."

"I'm amazed that things have panned out the way they have. I always say I'm so lucky, though my mum always says, "You make your own luck.""

"I think it's sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that."

"I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film."
Movies
"Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death."
Death
"I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version."

"I came back out here from England and I was there for a while and it was beautiful and it is just great to see London going from Spring to Summer and Autumn."
