When I need to think of, like, a peaceful scene or something, I think of my back garden in summertime. And whenever I hear the lawnmower next door, I always think it's really peaceful.

It's always good to be around nice-looking people.

To be respected as an actor it doesn't help to be seen out in the clubs.

I'm just happy to be doing a job that I love.

I love working in America, I love being part of the industry out here.

I'm all for being in love and whenever I like someone, I end up pretty much completely smitten.

I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.

I'm a big fan of Elvis, man. I got 'Heartbreak Hotel' tattooed on my chest.

I've always connected with music. Life's not always what you see; it's what going on in your head. Music is what comes out of your subconscious.

Today there are paparazzi out, I'm doing a day of press, I'm in a hotel, I've just been on Radio 1. But when I'm in my day-to-day life people don't know who I am and I'm left to my own devices.

I have two older brothers. I am the baby. We're all very, very close. We're great communicators, so we get along really well.

I don't come from a famous family and don't have this detachment from everyday people and everyday life. I'm just doing my job and the attention that comes with it is part of the territory.
