I'd like to think I'm a normal sort of guy, but go to my mum and she'll probably say, 'You know, Chris was always the daughter out of my three boys.'

I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do.

I was a chatty kid.

I'm for comfort, not for style.

I grew up in a household with two brothers and we lived in the bush. We were constantly building weapons and forts and things. But I didn’t set out to be an action hero.

You come to America, and, if you do a big TV show, then you can be overexposed, or old, before you’re new.

You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do.

Not often do you approach a character where people know more about him than you do.

I’m not into watching stuff I did last week, let alone three or four years ago.

I put the costume on and said ‘It’s not very comfortable, but it looks amazing,’ so it’s all good.
