I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It’s just beautiful to me.
I find that classical music helps put me in a place that is very calming and allows me to express emotion through my body. I played clarinet as a child, so I guess I have a bit of a musical ear.
I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn’t mean being pretty.
Critics can be harsh and I think it’s going to take me a long time to make people see what I have inside of me and that I really put my guts into movies and that I’m not superficial and that I’m not just a pretty face.
I don’t make movies thinking: ‘Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.’
What counts in Hollywood is box office. It doesn’t really matter what people think of you as an actor because, as long as you have been in a movie that has made money, you will always get another job.
I’m not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people.
Family is becoming more and more important to me.
Orlando’s a really cool guy. They hired him for ‘Lord of the Rings’ out of drama school. He’s very new at this still and doesn’t have a lot of experience. So we were in this together and we’ve tried to help each other out. We felt very equal which was good.
I have a kind of boring personal life, to the paparazzi anyway, and I don’t hang with the cool crowd.
