I don't want to do only blockbusters.

I want to do things that terrify me, unless they're going to kill me.

I just want to have a nice, happy life.

I want to do work that has a message and casts a light over an area that's dark. But I'm fun and jovial, too.

My childhood was kind of complicated. I have an older sister, but my father, my mother's husband, died when I was four years old. So I only had my mum and sister, really.

When everyone around you is doing all this incredible pirate acting and you're having to sort of play the straight guy and move the story forward, you kind of want to be doing some of that pirate ripping it up stuff, but in truth, to be a part of that project is what I love.
