Hier ein paar sehr interessante Zitate von ihm wie ich finde macht euch ein eigenes Bild!
"I don't really think I'm that shy. I think I give the impression I'm shy because I'm naturally defensive. When I get uncomfortable, I close down. Maybe that's shyness."
Sunday Mirror (August 2, 1998)
I certainly had a sense that she knew about them. With my first long-term girlfriend-it lasted about six months-we wrote each other letters, and I'd bicycle twenty miles to see her. I was infatuated with her. Then, at a party, she gave me the elbow-told me it was nothing anymore. It was a weekend when we were all staying at a friend's house, so it wasn't that I was told this news and could then go home. I had to sleep there, and get up, and face eveyone at breakfast. When I did get home, my mother seemed to know all about it, and it was a case where I was glad that she knew what had gone on because of my pain and feelings of inadequacy. I'd kept my mother at a distance when the relationship was happening, because I was a grown up and because of the intimacies involved. But then, of course, at the moment I was vulnerable, I wanted her, and she was wonderfully there. She was really understanding, which is all you can hope for, isn't it? When I decided to be an actor, my mother was the first person I told, and it was almost as if she'd expected it, even though I was halfway through art school, studying to be a painter. She had actually said to me the one time I acted in a school play, 'You know that if you wanted to be an actor, it's something you could do'. She just said that to me knowing that I had never thought about it or talked about it."
Interview (November 1996)
"No, but I do when it comes to a sudden desire for someone. For instance, you meet someone with whom you have 'rapport' instantly and with whom you could go to bed the next moment. And that such a thing can change into love, yes I believe so. I have lived through that feeling once or twice, but I have not always succumbed. With whom? Cm'on, of course I won't tell." (when asked if he believe in love at first sight)
VIVA Mag (June 20, 2000)
All the cliches are true. Tell her she looks great, that her figure's great. Unless she says, 'Honestly, tell me, is it not?' Then, if you are going to be critical, be constructive. Lay it down in a way that gives confidence. Be supportive."
Esquire (September 2002)
"I have always found older women very sexy. Francesca is amazing. I love to see a woman's life experience in her face and I find it sexy, not in a tabloid way, but it is exotic, it has allure."
Sydney Morning Herald (April 26, 2003)
"Every woman is completely different. I couldn't make a generalisation about that. There are some actresses who you think are very beautiful, about whom the world is saying, 'They are so lucky', but who have vulnerabilities and neuroses to do with acting. What interests me is the flesh and blood, the person who has arrived looking frazzled, who grabs her lines, needs a coffee, needs a cigarette. A person who says, 'God, I'm sweating, I must change my shirt', is more attractive than a person being a mask of glamour, which is just scary."
The Sydney Morning Herald (April 26, 2003)
No. I am pretty certain that that is something that is not going to happen. I remember from my own parents that strain of responsibility, the worry etched onto their faces, and though I don't have that financial worry, something in me at some level knows I don't want to go down that road." (when asked if he wants children)
The Sydney Morning Herald (April 26, 2003)
"I am afraid that, like most people, I am addicted to the mobile phone. It is crazy. But I am a wreck without it. And I hate myself for it. My girlfriend, Francesca, gets pissed off and says, 'What are you doing? Turn that off'. Also I like having massages, but that comes with a sort of English guilt."
Esquire (September 2002)
"It's that I do a screentest, together with my little brother Joe, for the same part, and that they choose him. Let's be honest: he looks a lot better than I. And he's a lot younger, ha ha." (about what worry him)
"I've always . . . I've always . . . I don't know . . . I've never been part . . . of what they call clubable. I distrust being part of a self-conscious group. I mean, the whole thing about the guys going down to the pub together. . . I've always, somehow . . . I'd rather go by myself. That's still true today."
The Boston Globe (August 28, 2005)
