I have a very strong political outlook, and that is something I'd like to take more responsibility for in my life. I don't believe in utilising certain aspects of the power I have with celebrity to push that forward, but I would like to make some films that address some of those political issues.
I loved '24', but I didn't think anyone else would. I had absolutely no idea.
I am a bit obsessive about tidiness. I need to make my bed in the morning and leave it perfectly made up.
Yes, I do believe that there is a cause and effect and a ripple effect upon everything everybody does, and they have positive consequences and negative consequences. If you start to focus on the kind of minutia of that, it's really quite extraordinary.
We're kind of in our own cocoon making it. Every once in a while you stick your head up for a second, and you just can't believe how successful the show has become.
There's a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point, as an actor, when you do know better, and that is when the fear starts.
The biggest mistakes I made in my career were when I said, 'If I do this movie, I'll be able to do a couple more movies.' Those are the times I really got ugly.
You can't ask the press to service you with everything that they have and not expect some of the other stuff in return if you're going to live your life like I have.
There are aspects of '24' where I love its politics and aspects where I hate them.
My parents not only did it for a living, but they were really good at it.
I'm always jumping in my seat or gasping during a good horror movie.
I would love to do '24' until I was 60, but I don't think anybody would accept it.
