I always love costume, and I’m always heavily involved in how things should look. Or how they should feel really, because that’s part of the way I suppose I get into character in some ways. It’s a lot about costume.

I’m very much a “that’s so obvious, I must not mention it” kind of guy.

Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn’t know it’s an actor.

There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven’t got the breaks I’ve had.

I’ve always been a bit of a self-doubter, I think a lot of actors are. I still am.

It’s a nightmare if you’re working with someone you don’t get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.

When I’m applying for a new passport, or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.

I just don’t know anything about fashion.

You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they’re very giving, generous, warm people.

When you’re a lead role, I’m learning that you set a tone for the movie in a way, like a director does, or like other actors do. But it seems like you set a mood on set.
